High places
High Place: An eminence, natural or artificial, where worship by sacrifice or offerings was made (1 Kings 13:32; 2 Kings 17:29) The first altar after the Flood was built on a mountain (Genesis 8:20) Abraham also built an altar on a mountain (Genesis 12:7,8) It was on a mountain in Gilead that Laban and Jacob offered sacrifices (Genesis 31:54) After the Israelites entered the Promised Land they were strictly enjoined to overthrow the high places of the Canaanites (Exodus 34:13; Deuteronomy 7:5; 12:2,3) and they were forbidden to worship the Lord on high places (Deuteronomy 12:11-14) and were enjoined to use but one altar for sacrifices (Leviticus 17:3,4; Deuteronomy 12:1) (Deuteronomy 16:21) The injunction against high places was, however, very imperfectly obeyed, and we find again and again mention made of them (2 Kings 14:4; 15:4,35; 2 Chronicles 15:17) etc.
