I put this little page together after a few days of thinking about how to do it. I
read a page on the Internet where some guy was claiming The word Elohim
means there are many gods and not just one, so I decided to make my own page
to set the true meaning of this word right. I do not claim this list to be complete,
but it is good enough to prove my point.

In Scripture, the primary meanings of this root are "god" (pagan or false gods), "God" (the true
God of Israel), and sometimes "the mighty" (referring to men or angels). When used of the true
God of Israel, El is almost always qualified by additional words that further define the meaning
that distinguish Him from false gods. These other names or titles for God are sometimes called
"construct forms."
El and El Constructs
For each name in the list below, I provide the following information:
1. The Hebrew text for the name
2. The most common English transliteration (in italics)
3. A definition for the name, references to the Tanakh
The Hebrew word “Elohim” is translated in the singular form, but is actually plural. It
refers to every God everyone has ever interacted with, but also implies that they were
always the same one God. Translators render this word as “God,” instead of “Gods” to
avoid confusion.
Numbers 24:16
16
the oracle of one who hears the words of God,
who has knowledge from El-Elyon,
who sees a vision from the Almighty,
who falls prostrate, and whose eyes are opened:
El-Yeshuatenu “God our Savior” (Yeshua is also the true name for Jesus)
Psalm 68:19
19
Praise be to Yahweh, to El Yeshuatenu,
who daily bears our burdens.
