It is inconceivable to think of spiritual matters without a proper designation for the Supreme Deity. Thus the most common name for the Deity is God, a translation of the original Elohim. One of the titles for God is Lord, a translation of Adonai. There is yet another name which is particularly assigned to God as His special proper name, that is, the four letters YHWH (Exodus 3:14 and Isaiah 42:8). This name has not be pronounced by the Jews because of reverence for the great sacredness of the divine name. Therefore, it has been consistently translated LORD. The only exception to this translation of YHWH is when it occurs in immediate proximity to the world Lord, that is Adonai. In that case it is regularly translated GOD in order to avoid confusion. It is known that for many years YHWH has been transliterated as Yahweh, however no complete certainty attaches to this pronunciation. “ NASB – Thompson Chain Bible“In the translation of biblical terms referring to God, the ESV takes great care to convey the specific nuances of meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek terms. First, concerning terms that refer to God in the Old Testament: God, the Maker of heaven and earth, introduced himself to the people of Israel with the special, personal name whose consonants are YHWH (see Exodus 3:14-15). Scholars call this the “Tetragrammaton”. A Greek term referring to the four Hebrew letters YHWH. The exact pronunciation of YHWH is uncertain, because the Jewish people considered the personal name of God to be so holy that it should never be spoken aloud. Instead of reading the word YHWH, they would normally read the Hebrew word Adonay (“Lord”), and the ancient translations into Greek, Syriac, and Aramiaic also followed suit. When the vowels of the word Adonay are placed with the consonants of YHWH, this results in the familiar word Jehovah that was used in some earlier English Bible translatioins. As in common among English translations today, the ESV usually renders the personal name of God (YHWH) with the world “LORD” (printed in small capitals). An exception to this is when the Hebrew word Adonay appears together with YHWH, in which case the two words are rendered together as “the Lord [in lower-case] GOD [in small capitals].” In contrast to the personal name for God (YHWH), the more general name for God in the Old Testament Hebrew is Elohim and its related forms of El or Eloah, all of which are normally translated “God” (in lowercase letters). The use of these different ways to translate the Hebrew words for God is especially beneficial to the English reader, enabling the reader to see and understand the different ways that the personal name and the general name for God are both used to refer to the One True God of the Old Testament. “ ESV Study Bible Elohim Creator (Gen 1:1)From the beginningPerforming creation (Father, Son (Col 1:16), Spirit (Job 26:13)Must be plural ( 3:22)Let usIn ourLORD our GodEx 3:18Dt 1:6Jos 18:61 Sam 7:81 King 8:572 King 18:221 Ch 16:44Makes Covenants withNoah Gen 6:13-18; 9:12-26Abraham Gen 17:7-9, 19All 3 Gen 28:13Jacob Gen 35:11Lev 2:131 Sam 4:4Solomon 1 Kings 3:11David 2 Sam 7:251 Ch 13:5Ps 78:10Praise and TrustPs 56:1-4Ps 66:1-20Wrote the commandments Dt 9:10None Like himDt 32:39Is 45:5,22Plural Gen 1:26; 3:22; 11:7Is 6:8Ecc 12:1 (Remember thy CreatorS)Job 35:10 where is God my makerSFrom:Eloah – to swearIs 45:23Heb 6:13El – Might and PowerFormal Definitions:?????????? [See Stg: <H430>]?elōhiym: A masculine plural noun meaning God, gods, judges, angels. Occurring more than 2, 600 times in the Old Testament, this word commonly designates the one true God (Gen. 1:1) and is often paired with God's unique name yehōwāh <H3068> (Gen. 2:4; Ps. 100:3). When the word is used as the generic designation of God, it conveys in Scripture that God is the Creator (Gen. 5:1); the King (Ps. 47:7[8]); the Judge (Ps. 50:6); the Lord (Ps. 86:12); and the Savior (Hos. 13:4). His character is compassionate (Deut. 4:31); gracious (Ps. 116:5); and faithful to His covenant (Deut. 7:9). In fewer instances, this word refers to foreign gods, such as Dagon (1 Sam. 5:7) or Baal (1 Ki. 18:24). It also might refer to judges (Ex. 22:8[7], 9[8]) or angels as gods (Ps. 97:7). Although the form of this word is plural, it is frequently used as if it were singular—that is, with a singular verb (Gen. 1:1-31; Ex. 2:24). The plural form of this word may be regarded (1) as intensive to indicate God's fullness of power; (2) as majestic to indicate God's kingly rule; or (3) as an allusion to the Trinity (Gen. 1:26). The singular form of this word ?el?ah <H433> occurs only in poetry (Ps. 50:22; Isa. 44:8). The shortened form of the word is ?ēl <H410>.AMG's Complete Word Study Dictionaries - The Complete Word Study Dictionary – Old Testament.Conclusion:When reading “God” look to replace it with Godhead….For those who are in Christ…He is OUR ElohimFearfully rest in power, authority and might of Elohim Bibliography:Stone, Nathan; Names of God , Andrew The Names of God Lockyer, Herbert; All the Divine Names and Titles in the Bible Zondervan 1975Rose Publishing The Names of God:21 names and their meaningsFor Next WeekReview the Verses for El Elyon, El Olam, and El ShaddaiEl Elyon:Genesis 14:18 (KJV) 18 ?And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
