This article addresses the meaning of the name, Elohym (#2)

Breakdown of the name in Genesis 1:1, linguistically:

Elohym consists of a base ELH and a suffix YM. 

When you remove the suffix YM, what remains is the base, ELH.

ELH* = base = noun, goddess, feminine, singular

YM = suffix (ending) = masculine, plural

ELH (feminine) + YM (masculine, plural) = ELHYM = Elohym.

*- In Hebrew there are two ways of writing “god” (noun, masculine) EL    ELVH.  In order to change god (EL) to goddess the female indicator letter (H) must be added making the word ELH.  The two words for a masculine god are EL (two letters) and ELVH (4 letters), but the word for goddess (feminine) is ELH (3 letters); this is what remained after separating the suffix YM from the word.

*- Jewish religious leaders/scholars want to claim/opine that the base is ELVH (Eloah), of which I can’t change. It is their “opinion” and agrees with their male biased theological belief system, however linguistically my statement above is correct.

A problem with the NAME Elohym having a feminine base and a masculine suffix as I state, is that it breaks Hebrew grammar rules.  If there is a masculine suffix, the base HAS to be masculine, hence a reason why religious scholars won’t except ELH as the base.  Big problem, IF the base was masculine and the suffix is masculine then the word MUST be a masculine, plural, noun. 

In Genesis Chapter 1, Elohym did 30 actions and the verb with each action is singular which negates the opinion that the base is ELVH. 

The word (ELH)(YM) shows ONE individual that is feminine + masculine.  Genesis 1:27 states that Elohym is male and female and we were created like Them.  This information is not new. 

Because I am not a Jew, I am not indoctrinated into their theological system of believing that G-d is a male as they call Him “Adonai = Lord”. 

Not a single language has an/one individual that consists of two different sexes (male and female) and therefore languages do not have a pronoun adequate to address Elohym.  Hebrew scholars use HE because the suffix is masculine, and their main G-d is YHVH, who is their Father.  I prefer to use THEY and remember that Elohym is ONE being, consisting of a male and female.  The Christian God consists of 3 males in ONE God.

With this in mind I translate Genesis 1:27 this way:

Elohym created man in Their own image, in the image of Elohym They created him; male and female They created them.

Here is how the King James Version has it:

God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

Now if God is only a male, He could not create us like Him because there is no female, but this verse says that God is male AND female. 

People say that God has no sex/gender yet they call God a HE. 

If you believe the Bible this verse says that we were created male and female, like Elohym.  Actual sexes, not “essences” or “features” of masculine and feminine characteristics. 

Further proof of this are the two individuals with the last name Elohym, that are male and female.

Female’s name is Ruach Elohym, Genesis 1:2.

Ruach means spirit, breath, or wind and is a feminine noun.  It is important to recognize the gender of this noun so that you can realize that Ruach Elohym is a female’s name.

Problem:  Translators removed this name and put “Spirit of God”.

Male’s name is Yehovah Elohym, Genesis 2:4. 

SUMMARY

Genesis 1:1 God’s name = Elohym

ELH (feminine) + YM (masculine) = Elohym; one being that is male and female.  I use the plural pronoun They, Them, Their.

Genesis 1:27 Elohym is male and female.

Genesis 1:2 Female’s name = Ruach Elohym

Genesis 2:4 Male’

 

 

 

ELH vs EL or ELVH

Hebrew theologians and Christian scholars will try to say the base of Elohym is EL or ELVH (Eloah), both of which are male to agree with the suffix (ending) YM which is masculine, plural.

The problem with that theory is if the base were EL or ELVH, and it has the masculine plural suffix, YM, then the word is a masculine plural noun “god”, because the NAME Elohym is a singular noun and uses a singular verb.

Hebrew linguists will say that to change EL (god, noun, masculine, singular) to goddess, noun, feminine, singular, an “H” has to be added to make it feminine, making the base ELH.

Elohym as a NAME a word (Their name) that breaks Hebrew grammar rules in order to show Their duality (male and female), yet being a single individual. The verb used when talking about the name Elohym is singular.

Elohym made knowing Themselves very easy by giving us a name that catches your attention by breaking Hebrew grammar rules.

 

 

 

One problem you will face if you choose to understand and believe this information: No American church accepts it.

If you have an English Bible all Hebrew names for God have been removed so, you’ll never be given the chance to know the information I gave in Genesis 1:1 & 1:2 & 2:4.

Genesis 1:27 states that God is male and female and we were created like THEM. PROBLEM: Not a single American church has a female as part of their God. Their god is a trinity of 3 males, Father, Son and Holy Spirit (HE).

Elohym’s first act of creation was Their only begotten SON, Yehoshua, the FIRSTBORN of all creation. This mean that the son cannot be Elohym who created him.

The name Jesus did not physically exist until 1500 AD. He was born to Jews (Mary) who would have given him a Hebrew name, Yehoshua, which means salvation of YAH; Yah is short for Yehovah.

If you can incorporate the info in the pictogram and the name Yehoshua for your savior, all American churches will be in direct opposition to YOU and the Torah with the Hebrew names.

Note: Ruach Elohym is the name in Genesis 1:2. Translators put “spirit of God”. Christians don’t know Her name but, use Holy Spirit (HE). Ruach = spirit, feminine.

Yehovah Elohym in Genesis 2:4 was translated by KJV as LORD God. They didn’t put His name either. Now the churches are beginning to accept Jehovah God, again denying Elohym as a name and continue to put the common noun “God” in its place.
