30. I will destroy your high places--Consecrated enclosures on
the tops of mountains, or on little hillocks, raised for practising the
rites of idolatry.
cut down your images--According to some, those images were made
in the form of chariots
(2Ki 23:11);
according to others, they were of a conical form, like small pyramids.
Reared in honor of the sun, they were usually placed on a very high
situation, to enable the worshippers to have a better view of the
rising sun. They were forbidden to the Israelites, and when set up,
ordered to be destroyed.
cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, &c.--Like
the statues of idols, which, when broken, lie neglected and contemned,
the Jews during the sieges and subsequent captivity often wanted the
rites of sepulture.
