During the reign of King Manasseh, the people of Judah had been led into idolatry, worshiping foreign gods and neglecting the temple in Jerusalem. However, after Manasseh's repentance and return to the LORD, there was a significant religious reform. The people began to redirect their worship towards the LORD, even though they continued to use the high places. These high places were originally intended for worship of other deities, but now they were being repurposed for the worship of the LORD. This indicates a sincere attempt by the people to return to God, even if their practices had not fully aligned with the centralized worship that was ideal. It shows a community in transition, striving to honor God within the context of their existing cultural practices. This reflects a broader theme of spiritual renewal where the heart's intention is valued, even when the form is not yet perfect, emphasizing God's grace and patience with His people as they grow in faith.
The people, however, continued to sacrifice at the high places, but only to the LORD their God.
