Isaiah 17:8
_ _ groves — A symbolical tree is often found in Assyrian inscriptions, representing the hosts of heaven (“Saba”), answering to Ashteroth or Astarte, the queen of heaven, as Baal or Bel is the king. Hence the expression, “image of the grove,” is explained (2 Kings 21:7).
_ _ images — literally, “images to the sun,” that is, to Baal, who answers to the sun, as Astarte to the hosts of heaven (2 Kings 23:5; Job 31:26). |
Isaiah 17:8
Not look — Not trust to them, or to worship offered to idols upon them. The work — Their own inventions. Groves — Which were devised by men, as fit places for the worship of their gods. Images — Worshipped in their groves. |
