*Question*
In
the original Hebrew Bible, Eloah [el-LO-ah], is the feminine form of 'God.'
This
one specific word, Eloah, literally means “Goddess.” Theologians, motivated by
various agendas, deliberately masked profound truths about Elohim [pronounced
el-lo-HEEM], the God of the Bible.
*Answer* :
I could
not find any support to your query from Hebrew colleges as well as from Strongs
and Other Hebrew Concordances. Also nothing could find authentic other than
some unauthorized articles.
Rather I pond
around, I am pasting out the information as answered by the *Hebrew Scholars*
found as below to throw some more light on the word Eloah.

ELOAH is
NOT feminine. Any suggestion that it is is based on a misunderstanding of
Hebrew. The feminine ending is simply -a, but is written with a HE as a
"mater" or helping letter simply to indicate the presence of a final
vowel. But the final HE in ELOAH is not a "mater", but has a mappiq
indicating that it is a fully pronounced consonant. Also the A sound here is
not original but is a "furtive patah" which is
inserted before
final guttural sounds, inlcuding HE with mappiq. So in the plural of this name
the A drops out, but the H does not, the masculine plural ending -im is added,
and we get the familiar plural form ELOHIM, which is also used regularly with
singular meaning. Now God is portrayed
in the Hebrew Bible as having female as well as male characteristics, e.g.
Isaiah 49:15, 66:13. But that's a different issue.
