_ _ high places of Tophet — the altars [Horsley] of Tophet; erected to Moloch, on the heights along the south of the valley facing Zion.

_ _ burn ... sons — (Psalms 106:38).

_ _ commanded ... not — put for, “I forbade expressly” (Deuteronomy 17:3; Deuteronomy 12:31). See on Jeremiah 2:23; see on Isaiah 30:33.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Jeremiah 7:29-34.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Jeremiah 7:31

Tophet — It comes from Toph, a drum, because they beat drums to drown the children's screeches, when they burnt them in sacrifice upon the altars, called here high places, to Moloch. Tophet was situate in a pleasant valley near Jerusalem, a place in the possession of the children of one Hinnom, Joshua 15:8.
