Elohim and Other Key Terms [36]
by Anthony Buzzard rated at 1.6 (6 votes so far)
If Elohim is plural and thus means Gods then what is the significance of the singular verb following? ("he [not they] created"). We would have to translate, "In the beginning Gods, he created" or "Gods was the creator." We are rapidly reducing the sacred text to nonsense. The solution is to realize that Elohim, though plural in form, is singular in meaning.

It is believed by some that the Hebrew word "one" (echad) that is used in Deuteronomy 6:4 and other verses indicates a "compound unity." This is just not true. Used with permission from biblicalunitarian.com
