Exegesis
The prepositional phrase et-hamakom {אֶת־הַמָּק֤וֹם | ʾet-ham-mā-qōm} appears twice to mark “this place” {hazzeh}, focusing the actions on the sanctuary. A threefold relative clause asher lo-yedaum hemmah vaavoteihem umalkhei Yehudah specifies universal ignorance of these gods, underscoring communal guilt.
Root and etymology
“to stand, set up”
In context — Jeremiah 19:4
Because they have forsaken Me and have estranged this place, burning incense here to other gods that neither they, nor their fathers, nor the kings of Judah had known, and have filled this place with the blood of the innocent .
