This phrase refers to the practice of child sacrifice, which was strictly forbidden in Israelite law (<a href="/leviticus/18-21.htm">Leviticus 18:21</a>, <a href="/deuteronomy/18-10.htm">Deuteronomy 18:10</a>). The Valley of Ben-hinnom, located southwest of Jerusalem, became notorious for such abominable practices, often associated with the worship of the Canaanite god Molech. This valley later became synonymous with Gehenna, a term used in the New Testament to describe hell (<a href="/mark/9-43.htm">Mark 9:43</a>). The act of sacrificing children was a direct violation of God's commandments and demonstrated a severe departure from the faith of Israel. It highlights the extent of Manasseh's apostasy and the influence of surrounding pagan cultures on Judah.He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and consulted mediums and spiritists. These practices were explicitly condemned in the Mosaic Law (<a href="/deuteronomy/18-10.htm">Deuteronomy 18:10-12</a>). Sorcery and divination were attempts to gain knowledge or power through supernatural means, often invoking demonic forces. Consulting mediums and spiritists involved seeking guidance from the dead, which was considered an abomination. These actions reflect a reliance on occult practices rather than trust in God. The presence of such practices in Judah under Manasseh's reign indicates a significant spiritual decline and a turning away from the covenant relationship with Yahweh. This behavior contrasts sharply with the biblical call to seek wisdom and guidance from God alone (<a href="/isaiah/8-19.htm">Isaiah 8:19-20</a>).He did great evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger. The phrase underscores the severity of Manasseh's actions from a divine perspective. "In the sight of the LORD" emphasizes that God is the ultimate judge of human behavior, and His standards are the measure of righteousness. The evil committed by Manasseh was not just a breach of social or cultural norms but a direct affront to God's holiness and covenant. Provoking God to anger suggests that Manasseh's actions were not only sinful but also persistent and unrepentant, leading to divine judgment. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative where persistent disobedience leads to consequences, as seen in the eventual Babylonian exile (<a href="/2_kings/24-3.htm">2 Kings 24:3-4</a>).

The heavy yoke of Assyria again weighed the nation down, and the great deliverance under Hezekiah was almost forgotten. "To all the Palestinian nations the Assyrian crisis had made careless confidence in the help of their national deities a thing impossible. As life was embittered by foreign bondage, the darker aspects of heathenism became dominant. The wrath of the gods seemed more real than their favour; atoning ordinances were multiplied, human sacrifices became more frequent, the terror which hung over all the nations that groaned under the Assyrian yoke found habitual expression in the ordinances of worship; and it was this aspect of heathenism that came to the front in Manasseh's imitations of foreign religion" (Robertson Smith, The Prophets of Israel, p. 366). . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_chronicles/33.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 6. - Caused his children.

There can be no doubt that this worst of cruel abominations, learned from Ammon and Moab, amounted to nothing less than the sacrifice of the child in the fire. It is, perhaps, something remarkable that we do not encounter anywhere any description of the exact manner of administration of this cruelty, and of its taking effect on the pitiable victim. The solemn commands of <a href="/leviticus/18-21.htm">Leviticus 18:21</a> and <a href="/deuteronomy/18-10.htm">Deuteronomy 18:10</a> bespeak sufficiently distinctly the prevision and earnest precaution of the Divine Ruler of Israel, through Moses, on behalf of his people. The following references all bear on the subject, and will be studied with advantage in order given: <a href="/2_kings/3-27.htm">2 Kings 3:27</a>; <a href="/2_kings/17-17.htm">2 Kings 17:17</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/20-26.htm">Ezekiel 20:26</a>; <a href="/micah/6-7.htm">Micah 6:7</a>; <a href="/amos/5-26.htm">Amos 5:26</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/7-32.htm">Jeremiah 7:32</a>; <a href="/jeremiah/19-4.htm">Jeremiah 19:4</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/16-20.htm">Ezekiel 16:20</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/20-26.htm">Ezekiel 20:26</a>.

On an elevation at the eastern extremity of this valley it was that Solomon erected "high places" to Moloch, entailing on himself a long and dire responsibility (<a href="/1_kings/11-7.htm">1 Kings 11:7</a>). Consult also our <a href="/2_chronicles/28-3.htm">2 Chronicles 28:3</a> and note there; with added reference, Stanley's 'Sinai and Palestine,' pp. 172, 482. Also he observed times; Revised Version, and he practised augury. The Hebrew word is ועְונֵן. This root is found once in piel infinitive (<a href="/genesis/9-14.htm">Genesis 9:14</a>), and is rendered (Authorized Version), "when I bring a cloud," etc.; beside, it is found in all ten times, always in poel, in preterite twice (the present passage and parallel), future once (<a href="/leviticus/19-26.htm">Leviticus 19:26</a>), participle seven times (<a href="/deuteronomy/18-10.htm">Deuteronomy 18:10, 14</a>; <a href="/judges/9-37.htm">Judges 9:37</a>, margin), in which six places it is rendered (Authorized Version) "observing times," once in Isaiah and Micah with rendering "soothsayers," again in Isaiah "sorcerers," and in Jeremiah "enchanter." There is difficulty in fixing its exact meaning, though its general meaning may be embraced in the words of the Revised Version. A likely meaning, judging from derivation, may be the practising augury from observing of the clouds. The passages in Leviticus and Deuteronomy are those that of old solemnly prohibited it. And used enchantments; Hebrew, וְנִחֵשׁ; the root is the familiar word for "serpent." The verb occurs eleven times, always in piel. The prohibition to practise such "enchantment" or divination is found in <a href="/leviticus/19-26.htm">Leviticus 19:26</a> and Leviticus 18:10; the five occasions of the use of the word in Genesis, however (<a href="/genesis/30-27.htm">Genesis 30:27</a>; <a href="/genesis/44-5.htm">Genesis 44:5, 15</a>), argue that it was not a thing intrinsically bad, but bad probably from . certain, so to say, simoniacal possibilities to which it lent itself. There lay in it some assumption, no doubt, of superhuman help, and the wickedness may have consisted in assuming it where it was not real. And used witchcraft; Hebrew, וְכִשֵּׂפ; Revised Version, and practised sorcery. The word is found six times in piel. The prohibition is found in <a href="/deuteronomy/18-10.htm">Deuteronomy 18:10</a>; the rendering of the word (Authorized Version) is by the term "sorcery" three times, and "witch" or "witchcraft" the other three times.
