These locations are frequently associated with worship, divine encounters, and sometimes idolatry. The term "heights" can denote both physical elevation and spiritual significance. 1. High Places in Worship: In the Old Testament, "high places" (Hebrew: bāmôt) were often sites of worship. These elevated locations were used for both the worship of Yahweh and the worship of foreign gods. The Israelites were instructed to destroy the high places used for idolatry. In <a href="/deuteronomy/12-2.htm">Deuteronomy 12:2-3</a> , God commands, "Destroy completely all the places on the high mountains, on the hills, and under every spreading tree, where the nations you are dispossessing worship their gods. Tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and burn their Asherah poles in the fire." Despite these commands, high places continued to be used throughout Israel's history. For example, Solomon, despite his wisdom, built high places for foreign gods to please his foreign wives (<a href="/1_kings/11-7.htm">1 Kings 11:7-8</a>). This act was a significant factor in the division of the kingdom. 2. Heights as Places of Divine Encounter: Heights are also depicted as places where individuals encounter God. Mount Sinai is a prime example, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. <a href="/exodus/19-20.htm">Exodus 19:20</a> states, "The LORD descended to the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the summit." Similarly, Mount Carmel was the site of Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal, demonstrating God's power (<a href="/1_kings/18-19.htm">1 Kings 18:19-39</a>). 3. Symbolic Significance: Heights often symbolize closeness to God, representing spiritual elevation and divine perspective. <a href="/psalms/121.htm">Psalm 121:1-2</a> reflects this symbolism: "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth." This passage suggests that looking to the heights is akin to seeking divine assistance and protection. 4. New Testament References: In the New Testament, heights continue to hold symbolic meaning. Jesus often withdrew to mountains to pray, indicating a place of solitude and communion with the Father. In <a href="/matthew/14-23.htm">Matthew 14:23</a> , it is recorded, "After He had sent them away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray. When evening came, He was there alone." Additionally, the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) is delivered from a mountainside, symbolizing the authority and divine nature of Jesus' teachings. 5. Eschatological Implications: In prophetic literature, heights can also have eschatological implications. <a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2</a> prophesies, "In the last days, the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it." This vision portrays a future where God's kingdom is exalted above all others, drawing people from every nation. In summary, the concept of "heights" in the Bible encompasses a range of meanings, from physical locations of worship and divine encounters to symbolic representations of spiritual elevation and eschatological hope. These elevated places serve as reminders of God's presence, authority, and the call to worship Him alone.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>HEIGHT; HEIGHTShit, The English terms represent a large number of Hebrew words (gobhah, marom, qomah, rum, etc.). A chief thing to notice is that in the Revised Version (British and American) "height" and "heights" are frequently substituted for other words in the King James Version, as "coast" (<a href="/joshua/12-23.htm">Joshua 12:23</a>), "region" (<a href="/1_kings/4-11.htm">1 Kings 4:11</a>), "borders" (<a href="/joshua/11-2.htm">Joshua 11:2</a>), "countries" (<a href="/joshua/17-11.htm">Joshua 17:11</a>), "strength" (<a href="/psalms/95-4.htm">Psalm 95:4</a>), "high places" (<a href="/isaiah/41-18.htm">Isaiah 41:18</a> <a href="/jeremiah/3-2.htm">Jeremiah 3:2, 21</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/7-29.htm">Jeremiah 7:29</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/12-12.htm">Jeremiah 12:12</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/14-6.htm">Jeremiah 14:6</a>), "high palaces" (<a href="/psalms/78-69.htm">Psalm 78:69</a>). On the other hand, for "height" in the King James Version, the Revised Version (British and American) has "stature" (<a href="/ezekiel/31-5.htm">Ezekiel 31:5, 10</a>), "raised basement" (<a href="/ezekiel/41-8.htm">Ezekiel 41:8</a>), etc. In the New Testament we have hupsoma, prop. of space (<a href="/romans/8-39.htm">Romans 8:39</a>), and hupsos of measure (<a href="/ephesians/3-18.htm">Ephesians 3:18</a> <a href="/revelation/21-16.htm">Revelation 21:16</a>).
