*El-o-heem'*
-Eddy Joel Silsbee
All Glory and Honour be to our Father in Heaven, The Creator.
We are looking at the names being called by the Character of God.
*Note*: These are not names of God - rather these are words that refer to His character.
Today we look at the word *El-o-heem'*
Meaning : God / Judge / Creator
In the Old Testament Elohim occurs over 2000 times. Elohim is first used in Gen 1:1.
Elohim in the Septuagint: theos - the standard Greek word for god, "a transcendent being who exercises extraordinary control in human affairs or is responsible for bestowal of unusual benefits" (BDAG).
It specifically refers to the monotheistic God of Israel.
Elohim is translated as "God." The derivation of the name Elohim is debatable to most scholars.
Some believe it derived from 'êl which, in turn, originates from the root word, 'wl (which means "strong").
Others think that Elohim is derived from another two roots: 'lh (which means "god") in conjunction with 'elôah (which means "fear").
And still others presume that both 'êl and Elohim come from 'eloah.
The sun will not be your light by day, and the moon will no longer be bright for you by night: but the Lord will be to you an eternal light, and your God your glory. Isaiah 60:19
