Some take these to be the puraiyeia, or "fire hearths", which Strabo described as large enclosures, in the midst of which was an altar, where the (Persian) Magi kept their fire that never went out, which was an emblem of the sun they worshipped; and these, he says, were in the temples of Anaitis and Omanus, and where the statue of the latter was in great pomp; which idol seems to have its name from the word in the text; and these are fitly added to the high places, because on such, as Herodotus says, the Persians used to worship:and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; or "dunghill gods" ; such as the beetle, the Egyptians worshipped, signifying that they and their idols should be destroyed together:and my soul shall abhor you; the reverse of Le 26:6; and by comparing it with that, this may signify the removal of the divine Presence from them, as a token of his abhorrence of them; and so Jarchi and Aben Ezra interpret it.
