These high places were typically located on hills or raised platforms and were significant in the religious practices of ancient Israel and surrounding cultures. They could include altars, pillars, and sometimes even small temples.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>High places were common in the ancient Near East as sites for religious rituals. In Israel, they were initially used for the worship of Yahweh before the centralization of worship in Jerusalem. However, they often became associated with idolatrous practices, leading to their condemnation by prophets and reforming kings. The use of high places reflects the ancient belief that elevation brought one closer to the divine.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/1116.htm">bamah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"high place," a place in Moab<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Bamoth (2), Bamoth-baal* (1).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בָּמוֺת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (<em>high place</em> or <em>great high place</em>) place in Moab <a href="/interlinear/numbers/21-19.htm">Numbers 21:19</a>,20 = <font class="hebrew2">בָּמוֺת בַּעַל</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/22-41.htm">Numbers 22:41</a>;
