Footnotes
The *bamot* ('high places') were localised open-air shrines, often at elevated sites, associated with pre-Israelite Canaanite worship. The threefold formula—*bamot*, hills, and every green tree—is a recurring Deuteronomistic indictment formula (1 Kgs 14:23; 2 Kgs 17:10; Jer. 2:20), signifying total and comprehensive spiritual infidelity. FOG retains *bamot* as a culturally specific term; FOG Message renders it as 'high places,' the traditional English equivalent.
