How God measures the worth of a man..
( 1 ) Ge 7:19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth ; and all the high "gaboahh" hills , that were under the whole heaven , were covered .
.. upon the earth and all the high ..
( 2 ) De 3:5 All these cities were fenced with high "gaboahh" walls , gates , and bars ; beside unwalled towns a great many .
.. cities were fenced with high walls ..
( 3 ) De 28:52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates , until thy high "gaboahh" and fenced walls come down , wherein thou trustedst , throughout all thy land : and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land , which the LORD thy God hath given thee.
.. in all thy gates until thy high ..
( 4 ) 1Sa 2:3 Talk no more so exceeding "gaboahh" proudly "gaboahh"; let not arrogancy come out of your mouth : for the LORD is a God of knowledge , and by him actions are weighed . {arrogancy: Heb. hard}
.. .. 1Sa 2:3 Talk no more so high ..more so exceeding high ..
( 5 ) 1Sa 9:2 And he had a son , whose name was Saul , a choice young man , and a goodly : and there was not among the children of Israel a goodlier person than he: from his shoulders and upward he was higher "gaboahh" than any of the people .
.. and upward he was higher ..
( 6 ) 1Sa 16:7 But the LORD said unto Samuel , Look not on his countenance , or on the height "gaboahh" of his stature ; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth ; for man looketh on the outward appearance , but the LORD looketh on the heart . {outward...: Heb. eyes}
.. not on his countenance or on the high ..
Notice Jesus does not measure how well your walking firmly home
to Him, as a Christian you might be surprised by this statement...
Jesus looks at the attitudes of the heart, not the outward person
walking securely home to Him...Does this make sense ?
The attitude of the heart tests the motives of the walking
homeward. Those who walk homeward may be doing so
from human power alone, and not from Jesus' power flowing
through them. Catch the difference ? Shalom
( 7 ) 1Ki 14:23 For they also built them high places , and images , and groves , on every high "gaboahh" hill , and under every green tree . {images: or, standing images, or, statues}
.. and groves on every high hill ..
( 8 ) 2Ki 17:10 And they set them up images and groves in every high "gaboahh" hill , and under every green tree : {images: Heb. statues}
.. and groves in every high hill ..
( 9 ) Es 5:14 Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him, Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high "gaboahh", and to morrow speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet . And the thing pleased Haman ; and he caused the gallows to be made . {gallows: Heb. tree}
.. fifty cubits high ..
I begin to see "high" is a measure of human pride
The mansion on the hill....
The apartment high looking oveer the sea..
The hospital set on the highest hilltop..
The tallest tower in the city..
The private tall mansion of the rich..
Do you see how human pride parallels the
Hebrew word for "high"...? We do things
emotionally with literal intentions..
( 10 ) Es 7:9 And Harbonah , one of the chamberlains , said before the king , Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high "gaboahh", which Haman had made for Mordecai , who had spoken good for the king , standeth in the house of Haman . Then the king said , Hang him thereon. {gallows: Heb. tree}
.. fifty cubits high ..
