from the mighty ones

Rootאלה (ʾ-l-h)
Core Meaningspower, might, divinity, strength, divine beings
Semantic RangeSupreme God (plural of majesty), gods (pagan deities), divine council, angels, judges, mighty ones, occasionally superlative for greatness.
Conceptual Significanceאֱלֹהִים emphasizes God's transcendent power and sovereignty, distinguishing the singular Yahweh from polytheistic 'gods' while hinting at divine plurality or council; in contexts like 'from Elohim,' it underscores divine origin or authority, central to monotheistic theology amid ancient Near Eastern polytheism.
Morphological NotesHR/Ncmpa: Hebrew preposition מֵ (from) + masculine plural absolute noun אֱלֹהִים (ʼĕlôhîym), a plural form often used with singular agreement for the God of Israel.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the plural masculine form (Ncmpa) of אֱלֹהִים by using 'mighty ones,' reflecting its morphological status as a plural noun denoting divine powers or gods, while 'from' captures the preposition מֵ; it maintains semantic connections to strength and might inherent in the root.[1][6]
