Related commentary

The garden of Uzza - The family sepulcher or burying-place. It is said 2Ki 21:3, 2Ki 21:7, that Manasseh made a grove; and he set a graven image of the grove, etc. וישם את פסל האשרה אשר עשה vaiyasem eth pesel haasherah, asher asah: And he put the graven image of Asherah, which he had made, into the house. Asherah, which we translate grove, is undoubtedly the name of an idol; and probably of one which was carved out of wood. R. S.
