'Sacred' in the Bible

He did what was evil in the Lord’s sight, but not like his father and mother, for he removed the sacred pillar of Baal his father had made.

They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.

He removed the high places, shattered the sacred pillars, and cut down the Asherah poles. He broke into pieces the bronze snake that Moses made, for the Israelites burned incense to it up to that time. He called it Nehushtan.

He broke the sacred pillars into pieces, cut down the Asherah poles, then filled their places with human bones.
