What does El refer to in the Bible?
El is Hebrew for a god, and Elohim is the plural, gods. However, the writer now known as the Elohist used Elohim in a singular context, or with a singular verb, to refer to the supreme God of Israel. Many English translations of the Bible also translate elohim, when used otherwise, as 'angels' in order to avoid polytheistic concepts.

Why do the bible in genesis account creation to Elohim and not YHWH is YHWH the Elohim is it because of mistranslation or something else?
Mr. Heiser claims that the word Elohim in Hebrew, meaning "gods" is not a plural word. His main proof is that it says in Hebrew "The Elohim Said" in a singular form not a plural form. This would indicate that the word Elohim was a name and not meaning plural gods. Of course this also could mean that the scribes of the Bible kept it in a singular form to show the monotheistic viewpoint. There are many uses of the plural term of the word Elohim in the Bible. I have listed several plural forms below and it is in fact very hard to find any singular uses of the word. The word Elohim is definitely plural and does indeed mean "gods" and it actually contains two forms of the singular word for God inside of itself. 1. The word EL means God and it is the first part of the word Elohim. 2. The word Eloah, also means God and it is the first part of the word Elohim. Eloah in Hebrew is a three letter root which most Hebrew words contain. Here we already have two singular forms of the word God inside the plural word Elohim. Yet, Mr. Heiser has never mentioned these singular forms inside the plural word. He still insists Elohim is singular knowing well that is already contains two singular words for God. The Universal Creator God of the Bible known as Yahweh speaks and is quoted within the Bible. When he spoke to the ancient Hebrews while giving them the 10 commandments, he indeed used the plural word of Elohim meaning gods. The Christians mantain the Trinity as the Father the Son and the Holy ghost (Saint Spirit) as the main identities of the heavens.
Was yah and elohim replaced in the bible with lord and god?
I believe that Yah, abbr. (Jehova) and Elohim meaning God plural. "El" is singular form, but together Elohim (believed to be the Trinity) more than one God. I believe that the names were not replaced but translated. Answer 2: None of the names of God in the Hebrew Bible were replaced or changed. The text of the Hebrew Bible has never varied. Each name of God indicates one of the ways in which He relates to the world. And none of the names are used as plural, since all of the names are linked to singular verbs.
Was the bible written wrong when the bible said that God was manifested in the flesh?
