⁴ He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

² You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains, and on the hills, and under every green tree:

²³ For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;

⁴ However the high places were not taken away: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places.

⁵ you who inflame yourselves among the oaks, under every green tree; who kill the children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?

⁶ Among the smooth [stones] of the valley is your portion; they, they are your lot; even to them have you poured a drink-offering, you have offered an offering. Shall I be appeased for these things?

⁷ On a high and lofty mountain have you set your bed; there also you went up to offer sacrifice.

⁴ who sit among the graves, and lodge in the secret places; who eat pig's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;

¹⁷ Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves [to go] to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together, says Yahweh.

² while their children remember their altars and their Asherim by the green trees on the high hills.

²⁸ For when I had brought them into the land, which I swore to give to them, then they saw every high hill, and every thick tree, and they offered there their sacrifices, and there they presented the provocation of their offering; there also they made their sweet savor, and they poured out there their drink-offerings.

²⁹ Then I said to them, What means the high place whereunto you go? So the name of it is called Bamah to this day.
