Galatians 4:8 Cross References - ECB

⁸
CONCERNING SERVITUDE
But then indeed, when you knew not Elohim, you were in servitude to them, who by nature, are no elohim.

² And Paroh says, Who is Yah Veh, that I hear his voice to send Yisra El away? I neither know Yah Veh nor send I Yisra El away.

² And Yah Shua says to all the people, Thus says Yah Veh Elohim of Yisra El: Your fathers originally settled beyond the river - Terach the father of Abraham the father of Nachor and they served other elohim:

¹⁵ and if it vilify your eyes to serve Yah Veh, choose you this day whomever you serve - whether the elohim your fathers served beyond the river; or the elohim of the Emoriy in whose land you settle: but as for me and my house, we serve Yah Veh.

⁹ Expelled you not the priests of Yah Veh - the sons of Aharon and the Leviym? And worked priests after the manner of the nations of lands? So that whoever comes to fill his hand with a steer the son of an ox and seven rams, becomes a priest of a non-elohim.

⁴ Their idols are silver and gold the work of human hands: ⁵ mouths have they, but they word not; eyes have they, but they see not; ⁶ ears have they, but they hear not; nostrils have they, but they scent not; ⁷ hands have they, but they touch not; feet have they, but they walk not; they mutter not through their throat. ⁸ They who work them are like them; thus is every one who confides in them.

¹⁵ The idols of the goyim are silver and gold - the work of human hands: ¹⁶ mouths, and they word not; eyes, and they see not; ¹⁷ ears, and they hearken not; nose, and their is no spirit/wind in their mouth. ¹⁸ They who work them are likened to them; thus every one who confides in them.

¹⁹ and gave their elohim into the fire: for they are no elohim - only the work of human hands, timber and stone: they destroyed them.

⁹ They who form a sculptile all of them are a waste; and their desires benefit not: and they are their own witnesses; they neither see, nor know to shame. ¹⁰ Who ever formed an el or poured a sculptile that is not beneficial? ¹¹ Behold, all his companions shame: and the engravers are of humanity: they all gather; together they stand: they fear; together they shame. ¹² The engraver of iron works with the ax in the coals and forms with hammers and makes with the force of his arms: yes, he famishes and his force is not: he drinks no water and wearies. ¹³ The engraver of timber spreads his line; he surveys with a stylus; he works with planes: and he surveys with the compass and works after the pattern of a man according to the adornment of humanity; that it settle in the house: ¹⁴ he cuts down cedars; and takes the cypress and the oak which he strengthens for himself among the trees of the forest: he plants an ash, and the downpour nourishes: ¹⁵ and it becomes for humanity to burn: for he takes and heats; yes, he kindles and bakes bread: yes, he works an el and prostrates; he makes a sculptile, and prostrates thereto: ¹⁶ he burns half in the fire; with half he eats flesh; he roasts a roast, and satiates: yes, he heats, and says, Aha, I heat up; I see the flame: ¹⁷ and of what survives, he works an el - his sculptile: he prostrates thereto - prostrates and prays thereto, and says, Rescue me; for you are my el. ¹⁸ They neither know nor discern: for he daubs their eyes from seeing, and their hearts from comprehending: ¹⁹ and no one turns to his heart; there is neither knowledge nor discernment to say, I burn half in the fire; yes, also I bake bread on the coals; I roast flesh and eat: and I work the remnant an abhorrence: I prostrate to the product of a tree. ²⁰ He grazes on ashes: a mocked heart perverts him that he neither rescues his soul, nor says, Is there not a falsehood in my right?

¹¹ Changes a goyim their elohim to a non-elohim? and my people change their honor for that which benefits not.

³ for the statutes of the people are vain: for one cuts a tree from the forest - the work of the hands of the engraver with the ax: ⁴ they beautify with silver and with gold; they strengthen with nails and with hammers so that it wiggles not: ⁵ round as the palm tree, but word not: in bearing, they bear, because they pace not. Awe them not, for they vilify not; yes, it is not in them to well-please. ⁶ Because there is no one like you, O Yah Veh; you are great, and your name is great in might. ⁷ Who awes you not, O Sovereign of goyim? For it becomes you: for among all the wise of the goyim, and in all their sovereigndoms, there is no one like you. ⁸ And as one, they are brutish and foolish: the tree is a discipline of vanities. ⁹ They bring expanded silver from Tarshish and gold from Uphaz - the work of the engraver and of the hands of the refiner: blue and purple is their robe: they are all the work of wise. ¹⁰ And Yah Veh is the Elohim of truth; he is the living Elohim and eternal sovereign: the earth quakes at his rage and the goyim contain not his rage. ¹¹ Thus you say to them, The elah who made not the heavens and the earth destructs from the earth and from under these heavens. ¹² He worked the earth by his force; he established the world by his wisdom; and spread the heavens by his discernment. ¹³ He gives his voice; there is a multitude of waters in the heavens: and he ascends the vapours from the ends of the earth: he works lightnings with rain and brings forth the wind from his treasures. ¹⁴ All humanity is brutish in knowledge: every refiner is shamed by the sculptile: for his libation is falsehood and there is no spirit in them: ¹⁵ they are vanity, the work of frauds: in the time of their visitation they destruct. ¹⁶ The allotment of Yaaqov is not like them: for he is the former of all; and Yisra El is the scion of his inheritance: Yah Veh Sabaoth is his name.

²⁵ Pour your fury on the goyim who know you not, and on the families who call not on your name: for they consume Yaaqov - consume him and finish him off and desolate his habitation of rest.

¹⁰ He was in the cosmos and through him the cosmos became; and the cosmos knows him not:

¹² - and indeed, they call Bar Nabi, Zeus; and Paulos, Hermes, since he is the governnor of words.

²³ For as I passed through and considered your objects of reverence, I found a bamah epigraphed, TO THE UNKNOWN EL - so whom you unknowingly revere, I evangelize to you.

²⁹ So, being of the genos of Elohim, we are indebted to not presume that the likeness of Elohim is likened to gold or silver or stone etched by human techniques and deliberations. ³⁰ So indeed Elohim overlooked the times of this unknowingness; but now evangelizes all humanity every where to repent:

²³ and changed the glory of the uncorruptible Elohim into an icon likened to corruptible humanity and to flyers and quadrupeds and creepers.

²⁸ And exactly as they approve to not regard Elohim in knowledge, Elohim surrenders them to a disapproved mind, to do what is not becoming;

²¹ For since in the wisdom of Elohim the cosmos knew not Elohim through wisdom, Elohim well-approved that through the foolishness of preaching to save them who trust.

⁴ So, concerning the eating of idol sacrifices, we know that an idol is naught in the cosmos and that there is no other Elohim except one.

¹⁹ So what say I? That the idol is somewhat? Or that an idol sacrifice is somewhat? ²⁰ But those that the goyim sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to Elohim: and I will that you not become communicants with demons.

² You know that you were goyim, led to these voiceless idols - as ever you were led.

¹¹
SHALOM THROUGH THE BLOOD OF MESSIAH
So remember that you, ever goyim in the flesh, who are worded, Uncircumcision by those worded, Circumcision - in the flesh - handmade; ¹² that at that season you, being apart from Messiah, being alienated from the citizenship of Yisra El; strangers from the covenants of the pre-evangelism having no hope and atheist in the cosmos:

¹⁸ darkened in mind - alienated from the life of Elohim through the unknowingness in them through the petrifaction of their heart:

⁹ For they themselves evangelize of us what manner of entrance we had to you; and how you turned from idols to Elohim to serve the living and true Elohim;

⁵ not in the passion of panting exactly as the goyim who know not Elohim:

⁸ in flaming fire giving vengeance on them who know not Elohim - who obey not the evangelism of our Adonay Yah Shua Messiah:

³ Enough of the past time of our existence! - working the will of the goyim - walking in lechery, pantings, vinolence, carousings, drinking bouts, and illicit idolatries:

¹
THE LOVE OF THE FATHER
Perceive! What manner of love the Father gives us - to be called the children of Elohim: because of this, the cosmos knows us not, because it knew him not.
