"Bamoth baal, ""the high places of Baal,"" probably the same as Bamoth mentioned in Num 21:19,20; evidently not far from Baal-meon, in the mountains of Abarim: for the Israelites were now encamped in the plains of Moab, which these mountains overlook. Baal, which signifies a LORD or governor, was a name common to many idols; and probably here was the same as Chemosh, the god of Moab. Num 25:2,3; Deu 12:2; 2Ch 11:15; Jer 48:35" |
