Bible Question:
When and how did the word "God" come from? I know of Jehovah, Elohim, Jah, El, Eloah, Elyon,Adon(Adon, Adonai, Adonim) and Shaddai but why God? Why haven't they left the names how they were originally written? Thanks, Love Fountain |
Bible Answer: Word study ... 'Adonay, 'El, YHVH ... Love Fountain, There are three primary words translated God from the Hebrew. 'Adonay is usaully transalted Lord, 433 of the 434 times. It is translated God once. 'El is the singular form and is usually translated God. It is also translated power. 'Elahh is the plural form and 'elohiym means there are more than two. YHVH or YHWH is the third word. It is also usually translated LORD. I hope this helps, Searcher |
