Who is Elohim?


Many are learning the Creator's name, and are using Yahweh, or something similar when referring to the god of Israel. But in Genesis and Exodus, the Hebrew word Myhla elohim (Strong's #430) is frequently used. In fact Gen 1:1 says: "In the beginning Elohim created ....".

Some are confused by this, and wonder whether Elohim and Yahweh might be two separate entities. Trinitarians exacerbate this confusion, and use it for their purpose, trying to show that their "God" is a plurality of persons. Some of them do this by saying that Elohim and Yahweh are two separate entities. Others do it by saying that the Hebrew word elohim, is itself, a plurality.

The purpose of this article is to reduce this confusion by showing that when the Bible refers to the Creator as Elohim, it means none other than the one and only Yahweh. The word elohim is a generic title. The phrase, "Yahweh your elohim", is like, "John your doctor", where elohim, and doctor, are not names, but titles.

YAHWEH IS A SINGULAR ENTITY
Yahweh is a lone and single entity and in reference to Him, hundreds of verses use the word elohim as a singular title as follows:

Ex 20:2: I am Yahweh your elohim, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

Lev 25:17: Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy elohim: for I am Yahweh your elohim.
Deut 6:4: Hear, O Israel: Yahweh our elohim is one Yahweh:
Deut 4:39: Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that Yahweh he is elohim in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
