a height, a name used simply to denote a high place where the Jews worshipped idols (Ezek. 20:29<\/span>). The plural is translated “high places” in Num. 22:41<\/span> and Ezek. 36:2<\/span>.<\/p>\n Eze 20:29; “What is the high place whereunto ye hie habaim, alliteration to Bamah? And the name thereof is called. Bamah (i.e. “high place”, akin to the Greek pagan bomos) unto this day.” The very name implies the place is not sanctioned by ME; (God); it implies its own paganness: My place is called mizbeach, “altar.” Your sacrifices even to ME on a “high place” instead of My “altar” in the temple, were therefore a “provocation,” Eze 20:28 (Deu 12:1-5). Ewald makes the clause in Ezekiel a quotation from an older prophet.<\/p>\n BAMAH (only Eze 20:29) is the ordinary word for high place, but is here retained in its Hebrew form as the word manna in the parallel case Exo 16:15, on account of the word-play: What (mah) is the ba-mah to which ye go (b)? See, further, High Place.<\/p>\n A. R. S. Kennedy.<\/p>\n We meet with this name but once, namely in Eze 20:29. It means an high place. Bamoth is the plural of it, and we meet with this several times, Num 21:19-20. Bamoth Baal, a city beyond Jordan. (Jos 13:17)<\/p>\n bama, bama (, bamah, high place): The word appears in Eze 20:29 where reference is made to former high-place worship, the prophet speaking with contempt of such manner of worship. Ewald suggests a play of words, , ba’, come and , mah, what, what (mah) is the high place (ba-mah) whereunto ye come (ba’)? It is possible that reference is made to a prominent high place like the one at Gibeon (compare 1Ki 3:4; 1Ch 16:39; 1Ch 21:29; 2 Ch 13) for which the name Bamah was retained after the reform mentioned by the prophet.<\/p>\n [Ba’mah]<\/p>\n The Hebrew word bamah, signifying ‘high place,’ is once left untranslated, Eze 20:29, where Israel offered sacrifices to idols. It is frequently translated HIGH PLACES, q.v. <\/p>\n H1117<\/span> <\/p>\n A high place.<\/p>\n Eze 20:29<\/span> <\/p>\n Bamah (b’mah), high place. The name applied to idolatrous places of worship. Eze 20:29.<\/p>\n Ba’mah. (high place). Found only in Eze 20:29, applied to places of idolatrous worship.<\/p>\n Bamah a height, a name used simply to denote a high place where the Jews worshipped idols (Ezek. 20:29).
