# following the detestable practices of the nations

# the nations
|
|
|
|
The word "nations" represents the people of other nations. Here it refers to the people of the nations who had lived in that land. AT: "the people of other nations" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

The people of those nations fled as the people of Israel moved into the land. The full meaning of this statement can be made explicit. AT: "before the people of Israel who moved into the land" or "as the people of Israel moved into the land" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

# the high places, on the hilltops, and under every green tree
|
|
|
|
These are places where the people of the other nations worshiped their false gods.

|
# under every green tree

|
God wanted his people to offer sacrifices to him in Jerusalem. The word "every" here is an exaggeration to show how determined King Ahaz was to disobey God by offering sacrifices in many other places instead. AT: "under many green trees" or "under many green trees around the country" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])
