Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Chronicles 28:4
He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
4. He sacrificed also ] R.V. And he sacrificed.
under every green tree ] The Heb. word here used for “green” ( ra‘ann) means rather “flourishing,” the reference being not so much to colour as to condition and size. Large fine trees (which are rarer In the East than in the West) are important landmarks; cp. 1Ch 10:12; Gen 12:6; Gen 35:4. In different ways such trees acquired a sacred or semi-sacred character (Gen 18:1; Gen 21:33; Jdg 6:11); in some cases because they were associated with theophanies, in others perhaps because the flourishing state of the tree was regarded as the sign of the presence of some local deity.
