an eminence or high place
Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary
BAMAH (only Eze_20:29) is the ordinary word for high place, but is here retained in its Hebrew form as the word manna in the parallel case Exo_16:15, on account of the word-play: What (mah) is the ba-mah to which ye go (bâ)? See, further, High Place.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
Eze_20:29; "What is the high place whereunto ye hie habaim, alliteration to Bamah? And the name thereof is called. Bamah (i.e. "high place", akin to the Greek pagan bomos) unto this day." The very name implies the place is not sanctioned by ME; (God); it implies its own paganness: My place is called mizbeach, "altar." Your sacrifices even to ME on a "high place" instead of My "altar" in the temple, were therefore a "provocation," Eze_20:28 (Deu_12:1-5). Ewald makes the clause in Ezekiel a quotation from an older prophet.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary

Ba'mah. (high place). Found only in Eze_20:29, applied to places of idolatrous worship.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
ba?ma, bā?ma (בּמה, bāmāh, ?high place?): The word appears in Eze_20:29 where reference is made to former ?high-place worship,? the prophet speaking with contempt of such manner of worship. Ewald suggests a play of words, בּא, bā', ?come? and מה, māh, ?what,? ?what (māh) is the high place (bā-māh) whereunto ye come (bā')?? It is possible that reference is made to a prominent high place like the one at Gibeon (compare 1Ki_3:4; 1Ch_16:39; 1Ch_21:29; 2 Ch 13) for which the name ?Bamah? was retained after the reform mentioned by the prophet.
