High Place:

an eminence, natural or artificial, where worship by sacrifice or offerings was made (1Ki 13:32; 2Ki 17:29). The first altar after the Flood was built on a mountain (Gen 8:20). Abraham also built an altar on a mountain (12:7,8). It was on a mountain in Gilead that Laban and Jacob offered sacrifices (31:54). After the Israelites entered the Promised Land they were strictly enjoined to overthrow the high places of the Canaanites (Exd 34:13; Deu 7:5; 12:2,3), and they were forbidden to worship the Lord on high places (Deu 12:11-14), and were enjoined to use but one altar for sacrifices (Lev 17:3,4; Deu 12; 16:21). The injunction against high places was, however, very imperfectly obeyed, and we find again and again mention made of them (2Ki 14:4; 2Ch 15:17, etc.).
