Commentary on Hosea 8:11

Theological / Devotional

Made many altars. See on ch. 10:1. Instead of the one place with its altar that God had appointed (see Deut. 12:1-14), Israel multiplied altars contrary to the express command of God. They were for the worship of idols, such as the calves, the Baals (see on Hosea 2:17), and other heathen idols. Their location was on every high hill and place that pleased the people (see on ch. 4:13).
