Worst of the heathen. That is, the Chaldeans.
Their holy places. The pronoun indicates that God does not regard the Israelites as His. The plural may denote the Temple with respect to its holy places. This plural form for the sanctuary meets us repeatedly in the book of Hebrews and is there not always consistently translated. But in every instance the reference is to the heavenly sanctuary, consisting of the two apartments. Some think the reference is not to the Temple but to private sanctuaries erected on housetops and in gardens.
