The Pulpit Commentary on Deuteronomy 16:22

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Any image; any pillar, etc. The Hebrew word ( מַצֵבָה, mazzebah) denotes generally any pillar or stone that is set up, whether as a memorial (Genesis 28:18), or as a sign (Exodus 24:4; Isaiah 19:19), or for purposes of utility or ornament (Jeremiah 43:13). Here, as in other passages, it is a pillar or statue set up as an object of worship (cf. 2 Kings 3:2; 2 Kings 10:26; Hosea 10:1; Micah 5:12).
