high places: Bamoth baal, "the high places of Baal," probably the same as Bamoth mentioned in Num 21:19, Num 21:20; 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, Num 25:3; Deu 12:2; Ch2 11:15; Jer 48:35 utmost: Num 23:13 Next: Numbers Chapter 23
