Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they set them up images and groves in every high hill, and under every green tree. That is, statues and idols; for groves of trees could not be set under green trees; but they placed idols of stone, and of wood, as the latter were, in such places as Heathens were wont to do; see Jeremiah 3:6

h Agreement of Customs between the East Indians and Jews, art. 5. p. 34.
