Thematic Bible: Idolatrous altars


Thematic Bible



And he raised up an altar to Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.

And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it and invoked in the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, answer us. But there was no voice nor anyone that answered. And they jumped up and down near the altar which they had made.

Therefore, in this manner shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this shall be all the fruit, the removal of his sin; when he shall return all the stones of the altar, as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder that they may not raise up the groves, or the images of the sun.

a people that provokes me to anger continually to my face; that sacrifices in gardens, and burns incense upon altars of brick;

Because Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin, the altars shall be a sin unto him.

For as I passed by and beheld your sanctuaries, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him I declare unto you.
