The Hebrew word אלהים (English: Elohim) is translated as "God"^[1]. Although the root-meaning of this word is unknown, it is presumed to mean power, dominion, majesty, greatness, or even an abstract concept (such as life - Chayyim). The form of Elohim is plural, but it is used as a singular noun when in reference to God, and usually as a pluran noun when not in reference to God. ^[2]
