2. What is a "High Place"?
Answer:
"High places" in Hebrew "bamah" in the singular and "bamot" plural I understand
to mean elevated platform.
Archaeological evidence shows that it was customary to build a kind of ramp
leading up to an elevated platform
on which would be erected an altar etc.
In Modern Hebrew a "bimah" (from the same word-root as "bamah") means "stage" or dais.
Also the elevated podium on which the Torah Scroll is read in the synagogue is
called a "Bimah".
3. Who are they that "pisseth
against the wall"?
[1-Samuel 25:22] SO AND MORE ALSO DO GOD UNTO THE ENEMIES OF DAVID, IF I LEAVE
OF ALL THAT PERTAIN TO HIM BY THE MORNING LIGHT ANY THAT PISSETH AGAINST THE
WALL.
Answer:
It could merely mean all the males as distinct from the females.
