TSNTyndale Study Notes:

21:3-5 Manasseh’s spiritual infidelity included rebuilding local pagan shrines that his father had destroyed (18:3). He also promoted wicked religious practices associated with the worship of Baal and set up an Asherah pole (see 18:3; 1 Kgs 16:32) and reintroduced astral worship. God had judged the northern kingdom for these sins (2 Kgs 17:16).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

(Occurrence 0) he rebuilt the high places … he built altars for Baal, made an Asherah pole

(Some words not found in UHB: and,returned and=he/it_built DOM the,high_places which/who destroyed Ḩizqiy\sup yāh\sup* his/its=father and,erected altars for_the,Baal and=he/it_made asherah just=as he/it_had_made Ahab king Yisrael and,worshiped to/from=all/each/any/every host the=heavens and,served DOM=them )

Manasseh would have commanded his workers to do the building for him. Alternate translation: “he had the high places rebuilt … he had altars built for Baal, had an Asherah pole made” or “he had his workers rebuild the high places … he had them build altars for Baal, make an Asherah pole”
