[h=2]#1.12 Hebrew אֱלֹהִים Htr. ’elōhîm, English Elohim[/h]
[FONT="][B]Elohim[/B] is generally considered to be the plural of [B]Eloah.[/B] Occasionally it is translated "the judges" ([URL="http://biblia.com/bible/nkjv/Exodus%2021.6"]Exodus 21:6[/URL]; 22:8-9), quite often "the gods" when referring to false gods (Genesis 31:30; Exodus 12:12; 18:11 etc.), but mostly translated "God", and used with singular verbs when referring to the one true God. This is commonly regarded as a plural of majesty, which is quite a common feature of the Hebrew language. It is used of Jesus in this plural form where it is translated, "O God" (Psalm 45:6), and where it is clearly being addressed to "the Son" (Hebrews 1:8). Therefore it does not prove a plurality of persons in the Godhead, as some have suggested.[/FONT][h=2]#1.13 Hebrew אֵל, Htr. ’ēl, English El[/h]

It is so used in the compound names which follow.[/FONT][h=2]#2.1 THE COMPOUND NAMES USING "EL"[/h][h=2]#2.11 Hebrew אֵל עֶלְיוֹן Htr. ’ēl ‛elyôn, English El Elyon[/h]
