In the Hebrew Bible, high places were frequently associated with altars and worship, both of Yahweh and, at times, of foreign gods. The term can denote physical elevation as well as spiritual or religious significance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, high places were often chosen for worship due to their proximity to the heavens, symbolizing a closer connection to God. These sites could be natural elevations or man-made structures. While some high places were dedicated to the worship of Yahweh, others were used for idolatrous practices, which were condemned by the prophets and reforming kings. The use of high places reflects the ancient Near Eastern practice of associating elevation with divine presence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>scribal error for <a href="/hebrew/130.htm">Adomi</a>, q.v.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Syrian <p>A clerical error for <a href="/hebrew/130.htm">'Edomiy</a>; an Edomite (as in the margin} -- Syrian. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/130.htm">'Edomiy</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וַֽאֲדֹומִים֙ ואדומים vaadoMim wa’ăḏōwmîm wa·’ă·ḏō·w·mîm<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/2_kings/16-6.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">2 Kings 16:6</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/2_kings/16.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">[וַאֲרַמִּים כ] <b> (וַֽאֲדֹומִים֙ </b> ק) בָּ֣אוּ</span><br><a href="/kjvs/2_kings/16.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> from Elath: <span class="itali">and the Syrians</span> came<br><a href="/interlinear/2_kings/16-6.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the Judeans of Elath <span class="itali">Syrian</span> came of Elath<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_726.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_726.htm">Strong's Hebrew 726<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/vaadomim_726.htm">wa·’ă·ḏō·w·mîm — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/725.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="725"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="725" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/727.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="727"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="727" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
