The probation in the land of Canaan from their entry to the day of Ezekiel. Eze 20:27 Yet in this - It was an aggravation of their guilt that they defiled with idolatry the land given them for their glory. Eze 20:29 Bamah - The Hebrew word for “high place.” Another instance of the perversion of God’s laws. When the Israelites first entered Canaan they were to set up the “tabernacle” on a “high place,” and upon this and upon no other they were to worship Yahweh (1Sa 9:12 ff; 1Ki 3:4).
