Thematic Bible: God sometimes worshipped on


Thematic Bible



The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there because it was the most famous high place. He offered 1,000 burnt offerings on that altar.

The women answered, “Yes, he is ahead of you. Hurry, he just now came to the city, because there’s a sacrifice for the people at the high place today.

However, the people were sacrificing on the high places, because until that time a temple for the Lord’s name had not been built.

However, the people still sacrificed at the high places, but only to Yahweh their God.
