Then I said unto them, What [is] the high place whereunto ye go? And the name thereof is called Bamah unto this day.
Ver. 29. And the name thereof is called Bamah,] i.e., A high place; a name good enough in itself, but, as used by them, as odious to all good hearts as a brothel house is to a chaste matron. She is the worse to pass by it, and spitteth at it. So should we in like case. Exo 23:13 Psa 16:4 Hos 2:16-17 Zec 13:2 Deu 12:2
