Verse 24
24. An eminent place Rather, vaulted chamber, or dome (R.V. and Kautzsch).
A high place in every street The word used here and in the next verse is not the one usually rendered “high place.” It may mean a small shrine where lived the religious harlot, as was customary in the streets of foreign cities. With the preceding verse there is a passing from Canaanitish worship to that of foreign countries, the intimation being that Jerusalem gathered to itself all the various abominations of every land.
