Elohim is a plural noun in Hebrew, meaning Gods. It refers to God the Father and God the Mother. In the original text of the Old Testament written in Hebrew, most of the words for God are Elohim. Elohim, the plural form of Eloah, was used about 2,500 times, instead of the singular nouns El and Eloah that mean God or deity. This means that God does not exist only as God the Father. That is why God sometimes refers to Himself as “us” (Ge 1:26).
