SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:30
Y destruiré vuestros altos, y talaré vuestras imágenes, y pondré vuestros cuerpos muertos sobre los cuerpos muertos de vuestros ídolos, y mi alma os abominará.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. And I will destroy your high places , etc.] Which Jarchi interprets of towers and palaces; but Aben Ezra of the place of sacrifices; for on high places, hills and mountains, they used to build altars, and there offer sacrifices, in imitation of the Heathens; (see Gill on “ Ezekiel 6:13”); and cut down your images ; called Chammanim, either from Ham, the son of Noah, the first introducer of idolatrous worship after the flood, as some have thought; or from Jupiter Ammon, worshipped in Egypt, from whence the Jews might have these images; or rather from Chammah, the sun, so called from its heat; so Jarchi says, there were a sort of idols placed on the roofs of houses, and because they were set in the sun, they were called by this name; and Kimchi observes they were made of wood, and made by the worshippers of the sun, (see 2 Kings 23:11); but Aben Ezra is of opinion that these were temples built for the worship of the sun, which is the most early sort of idolatry that appeared in the world, to which Job may be thought to refer, ( Job 31:26,27). Some take these to be the puraiyeia , or “fire hearths”, which Strabo described as large enclosures, in the midst of which was an altar, where the (Persian) Magi kept their fire that never went out, which was an emblem of the sun they worshipped; and these, he says, were in the temples of Anaitis and Omanus, and where the statue of the latter was in great pomp; which idol seems to have its name from the word in the text; and these are fitly added to the high places, because on such, as Herodotus says, the Persians used to worship: and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols ; or “dunghill gods” f915 ; such as the beetle, the Egyptians worshipped, signifying that they and their idols should be destroyed together: and my soul shall abhor you ; the reverse of ( Leviticus 26:6); and by comparing it with that, this may signify the removal of the divine Presence from them, as a token of his abhorrence of them; and so Jarchi and Aben Ezra interpret it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 14-39 - After God has set the blessing before them which would make them happy people if they would be obedient, he here sets the curse befor them, the evils which would make them miserable, if they wer disobedient. Two things would bring ruin. 1. A contempt of God' commandments. They that reject the precept, will come at last to renounce the covenant. 2. A contempt of his corrections. If they wil not learn obedience by the things they suffer, God himself would be against them; and this is the root and cause of all their misery. An also, The whole creation would be at war with them. All God's sor judgments would be sent against them. The threatenings here are very particular, they were prophecies, and He that foresaw all their rebellions, knew they would prove so. TEMPORAL judgments ar threatened. Those who will not be parted from their sins by the commands of God, shall be parted from them by judgments. Those wedde to their lusts, will have enough of them. SPIRITUAL judgments ar threatened, which should seize the mind. They should find no acceptanc with God. A guilty conscience would be their continual terror. It is righteous with God to leave those to despair of pardon, who presume to sin; and it is owing to free grace, if we are not left to pine away is the iniquity we were born in, and have lived in.
