elohim
Everyday HebrewMeaningThe name for God in the Hebrew Bible. Even though the word looks like it is for many gods, it is used for the one God.
HistoryThis word first appears in the very first sentence of the Bible. It comes from an older word, "El", which was a name for a god in ancient times. The "-im" ending usually means there is more than one, but here it is used to show that God is very great and powerful.
God created the world.
