Blasphemy Is Defile Ourselves with Gillul

Strong's #H1544, gillul

Ezekiel 23:37

That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their gillul have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bore unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them (KJV)

For they miscegenated, and blood is on their hands. With their idols they miscegenated, and they have even offered up to them for food the children whom they had borne to me. (ESV)

The Hebrew word gillul appears 48 times in the Holy Bible, 47 times as idols and 1 time as images.  In addition, there are13 other Hebrew words and 6 Greek words which are translated into the English words idol and idolatry, evidence of a bias from translators who would presume that a word which means log would also be a figurative representation for idol. 

Considering that gillul are not permitted into the congregation of the LORD, even to the tenth generation, that there is a notable lack of reference to gillul in the rest of the Holy Bible, and that these persons are called abominations and are put away, it's evident that these persons are non-Israelites of some kind.

FORTY EIGHT INSTANCES OF GILLUL

Eze 23:37 That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with gillul have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bore unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.

[This reference to adultery is proof that gullil must be persons and not inanimate objects like idols which would be impossible to either commit adultery or miscegenate with.]

Lev 26:30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of gillul, and my soul shall abhor you.

[This reference to carcasses is proof that gullil must be persons and cannot be inanimate objects like idols which cannot have carcasses.]

Eze 23:7 Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their gillul she defiled herself.

[This reference associates gillul whoredoms and with men of Assyria

2Ki 23:24 Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the healers [was images], and the gillul [was idols], and all the abominations that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.

[This reference to "put away" can only apply to people like wizards, healers, and gillul (who are all referred to as abominations in other Scripture), rather than to images and idols which are usually destroyed, burned, removed, or pounded into powder.]

Eze 6:9 And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after gillul [was idols]: and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

[If "go a whoring after" was a reference to idols rather than people like gillul, there are numerous other Hebrew words which would have been more appropriate than zanah, which Strong's defines as adultery and fornication, read: miscegenation, which is called an abomination before God]

Eze 20:7 Then said I unto them, Cast ye away every man the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourselves with the gillul of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.

Eze 20:18 But I said unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments, nor defile yourselves with gillul.

[Defile yourselves is translated from tame, which means to pollute yourselves, which can only be a reference to mixing the holy seed with gillul, proving that this is not a reference to an inanimate idol.]

Eze 37:23 Neither shall they defile themselves any more with gillul, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions: but I will save them out of all their dwelling places, wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.

[If you stretch your imagination you might be able to conclude that idols can have detestable things, but no amount of stretching will enable you to believe that inanimate objects like idols can have transgressions.]

Eze 20:39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every gillul, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with gillul.

Eze 23:39 For when they had sacrificed [was slain] their own children to gillul, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.

[Had Ezekiel intended to refer to idols here, it's likely that he would have used the Hebrew word atsab, Strong's #6091.]

Eze 8:10 So I went in and saw; and behold every image [was form] of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the gillul in [was idols of] the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.

[This reference to images on the walls of Negroids, creeping things, and gillul as abominable is the most revealing Scripture in the entire Holy Bible.  Picture Colin Powell.]

2Ki 21:21 And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the gillul [was idols] that his father served, and worshiped them:

[This reference to served is proof that gullil are persons who can be served rather than inanimate objects like idols which can only be worshipped rather than served.]

Eze 30:13 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also destroy the gillul, and I will cause their images [read: idols, from Strong's # 457, iliyl] to cease out of Noph; and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

[This is proof that the translators knew that the word gullil could not possibly mean idol.  In 20 instances of iliyl, this is the only time it's translated as images.  Had they been consistent and translated iliyl as idol, then gullil could not have been translated as idol.  Because idol would have appeared twice in one paragraph from two different Hebrew words, they would have had to realize that gullil could only be a reference to persons.]

Jer 50:2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her gillul are destroyed.

[As further evidence that the translators were well aware of the real meaning of gullil, this is the only time that it's meaning was changed from idols to images.  This was done only to avoid having the word idol appear twice in this scripture.  Had gillul been translated as non-Israelite or mongrel throughout the Old Testament, there would have been no need or opportunity to play this shell game with the Hebrew translation.]

1Ki 15:12 And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the gillul that his ancestors had borne.

Eze 16:36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the gillul of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them

Deu 29:17 And ye have seen the abominations of gillul, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among from them:)

Eze 6:4 And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will throw [was cast down] your slain men in the face of [was before] gillul.

Eze 6:13 Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among gillul round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savor to gillul.

Eze 14:3 Son of man, these men have set up gillul in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be inquired of at all by them?

Eze 18:6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the gillul in the house of Israel, neither hath defiled his neighbor's wife, neither hath come near to a menstruous woman,

Eze 18:12 Hath oppressed the poor and needy, hath spoiled by violence, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the gillul, hath committed abomination,

Eze 18:15 That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the gillul in the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbor's wife,

Eze 20:16 Because they despised my judgments, and walked not in my statutes, but polluted my sabbaths: because [was for] their heart went after ?.

Eze 20:24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers' gillul.

Eze 22:3 Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh gillul against herself to defile herself.

Eze 23:30 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with gillul.

Eze 23:49 And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of gillul: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Eze 33:25 Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward gillul, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?

Eze 36:18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their gillul wherewith they had polluted it:

Eze 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all gillul, will I cleanse you.

Eze 44:10 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after gillul; they shall even bear their iniquity.

Eze 44:12 Because they ministered unto them before gillul, and caused the house of Israel to fall into iniquity; therefore have I lifted up mine hand against them, saith the Lord GOD, and they shall bear their iniquity.

The jews have a very different view of the Hebrew word gillul, claiming that the Zorah, the Kabbalistic correspondences to the Holy Bible, is the verbal parallel to the Torah which provides the missing link to the Hebrew word tsphua, Strong's H6832, which means dung.  In other words, gillul means log, which is a reference to dung, which means dung people who are the golem who clean the city.   With their fastidious concentration on scatology, it's no wonder that jews delight in such an interpretation, so much so that jews too fail to understand that gillul means mamzer.
