Bible Note: Malachi, YHWH is the covenant name of God. Genesis is written as a single narrative, in only one way, not two. There are not two accounts of creation; the second narrative merely expands on the first. Elohim is not used as "impersonal...referring to a god" in Gen. 1:1. The text is not saying "a god created the heavens and the earth." "The Hebrew noun Elohim is plural but the verb is singular, a normal usage in the OT when reference is to the one true God. This use of the plural expresses intensification rather than number and has been called the plural of majesty." (NASB Study Bible: Zondervan.) --Hank |
