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.
