<p> is the Hebrews plural (Elohim', '''''אלֵהִים''''' ), of which the sing. form, '''''אלֵוֹהִּ''''' , ''Elo'Dh,'' is also employed to designate in general any deity, but likewise the true God. The word is derived, according to [[Gesenius]] ''(Thes. Hebrews'' page 94), from an obsolete root, '''''אָלָה''''' , ''Alah','' to ''Revere;'' but is better referred by First ''(Hebrews Handw.'' page 90) to the kindred '''''אֵל''''' [see EL-], the name of God as [[Mighty]] (from the extensive root '''''אָלָה''''' or '''''אוּל''''' , to ''Be Firm);'' and has its equivalent in the Arabic ''Allah,'' i.e., God. The plur. [[Elohim]] is sometimes used in its ordinary sense of ''Gods,'' whether true or false (e.g. of the Egyptians, Exodus 12:12; Exodus 35:2; Exodus 35:4; Deuteronomy 20:18; Deuteronomy 32:17; including Jehovah, Psalms 86:8; Exodus 18:11; Exodus 22:19; or distinctively of actual deity, Isaiah 44:6; Isaiah 45:5; Isaiah 45:14; Isaiah 45:21; Isaiah 46:9; 1 Chronicles 13:9); once of kings ( Psalms 82:1; Psalms 82:6); but Gesenius thinks not of [[Angels]] ( Psalms 8:6; Psalms 91:7; Psalms 138:1), ''Nor Judges'' ( Exodus 21:6; Exodus 22:7-8). But it is especially spoken of one true God, i.e., Jehovah, and in this sense it is always construed as a sing., especially when it has the article prefixed ( '''''הָאלֵהִים''''' ). (See [[Sack]]), ''Commentatt. Theol. Hist.'' (Bonn, 1821), 1; Reinhard, ''De Notione Dei,'' etc. (Vitemb. 1792); Edzard, ''Utrum'' " ''Elohim" A Canaanaeis Orig. Ducet'' (ib. 1696); Michaelis, ''Num Deus Dicatur '''''אלֵהִים''''' Inito Faedere'' (ib. 1723); Sennert, ''Exercitt. Philol.'' (ib. 1678). (See [[God]]). </p> | |||

<p> A Hebrew word in the plural number, signifying God or one as God, but with a verb in the singular, signifying generally the one true God; according to the [[Talmud]] it denotes God as just in judgment to all in contradistinction to Jehovah, which denotes God as merciful to His people. </p> | |||
