AnswerElohim was the Hebrew plural of 'El' - a god. When used in a singular context, or with a singular verb, it simply meant God. By itself, the word does not refer to revelation. or to a God who reveals.

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.
