Lexicon :: Strong's H7488 - raʿănān

“Destroy completely all the places where the nations that you are driving out worship their gods ​— ​on the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree.

They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree;

He sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

They set up for themselves sacred pillars and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.

He sacrificed and burned incense on the high places, on the hills, and under every green tree.

It will be accomplished before his time,

and his branch will not flourish.

I have seen a wicked, violent person

well-rooted,[fn] like a flourishing native tree.

But I am like a flourishing olive tree

in the house of God;

I trust in God’s faithful love forever and ever.

You have lifted up my horn

like that of a wild ox;

I have been anointed[fn] with the finest oil.

They will still bear fruit in old age,

healthy and green,

How handsome you are, my love.

How delightful!

Our bed is verdant;

who burn with lust among the oaks,

under every green tree,

who slaughter children in the wadis

below the clefts of the rocks?

For long ago I[fn] broke your yoke;

I[fn] tore off your chains.

You insisted, “I will not serve! ”

On every high hill

and under every green tree

you lay down like a prostitute.

In the days of King Josiah the LORD asked me, “Have you seen what unfaithful Israel has done? She has ascended every high hill and gone under every green tree to prostitute herself there.

“Only acknowledge your guilt —

you have rebelled against the LORD your God.

You have scattered your favors to strangers

under every green tree

and have not obeyed me.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

“The LORD named you

a flourishing olive tree,

beautiful with well-formed fruit.

He has set fire to it,

and its branches are consumed[fn]

with the sound of a mighty tumult.

while their children remember their altars

and their Asherah poles, by the green trees

on the high hills —

He will be like a tree planted by water:

it sends its roots out toward a stream,

it doesn’t fear when heat comes,

and its foliage remains green.

It will not worry in a year of drought

or cease producing fruit.

“You will all know that I am the LORD when their slain lie among their idols around their altars, on every high hill, on all the mountaintops, and under every green tree and every leafy oak ​— ​the places where they offered pleasing aromas to all their idols.

Ephraim, why should I[fn] have anything more

to do with idols?

It is I who answer and watch over him.

I am like a flourishing pine tree;

your fruit comes from me.
