Bamah - this name is in the Bible

Ezekiel 20:27- 29, "verse 29 -- I said to them, What is the high place to which you go? So its name is called Bamah to this day. ESV
Not sure what an 'O' would do to the meaning?
Take what ever you get out of this…
I just thought it was interesting…

I thought this was interesting in light of what the Hebrew word Bamah means and how it is pronounced."Bamah -- The Hebrew word for “high place.” Another instance of the perversion of God's laws. When the Israelites first entered Canaan they were to set up the “tabernacle” on a “high place,” and upon this and upon no other they were to worship Yahweh (1Sa_9:12 ff; 1Ki_3:4). But the Israelites followed the custom of the country, and set up idol-worship on every high hill, and the word “high place” (“Bannah,” plural “Bamoth”) became a by-word (compare “Bamoth-Baal,” Jos_13:17). “Bamoth” occurs on the Moabitic stone, which records the erection of high places in honor of Chemosh. The name “Bamah” was thus a brand of the divine displeasure, and a memorial of the people's guilt. {quote From Barnes}
