NASB | 2 Chronicles 20:33 The high places, however, were not removed; the people had not yet directed their hearts to the God of their fathers. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Chronicles 20:33 Only the high places [for pagan sacrifices] were not removed, for the people had not yet set their hearts firmly on the God of their fathers. |
Bible Question:
Why could they only worship in the temple and not in the high places. They were worshipping the true God. Why did that mean they had not yet set their hearts on their fathers' God. |
Bible Answer: Hi Leemay The very fact they were worshiping in the "high places" is testimony that they were not worshiping the true God. Indeed the very text of this verse shows us clearly that they were not. "the people had "NOT" yet directed their hearts to the God of their fathers." [emphasis in "CAPS" is mine.] God had given very explicit instructions in Leviticus as to just how He was to be approached. And He don't mess around! God bless John |
