high place (cultic worship site, often illicit; also poetically mountaintop or elevated terrain)
This feminine noun primarily denotes a high place used for worship, often condemned as sites of illicit Canaanite-influenced cult practices, though occasionally referring to legitimate sanctuaries before the temple. The term appears over 100 times, frequently in prophetic denunciations. It also functions poetically to describe mountain heights or elevated terrain, as in 'the high places of the earth' meaning mountain peaks.

1. sense 1 — In Ezekiel 20:29, the term functions as a wordplay (bama/'what/come?') in God's rhetorical question about Israel's continued use of illicit worship sites. The multilingual glosses show translators struggling between transliterating the technical term ('Bamah') and explaining its cultic function ('high place'), highlighting its specialized religious vocabulary. 1×
