SIBI-P1 H426-19
to your gods
| Root | אלה (ʾ-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | deity, godhood, divine power, mighty one |
| Semantic Range | God, false god, deity, divine being, object of worship; in plural often refers to pagan gods or perceived divine powers. |
| Conceptual Significance | In Aramaic sections of Scripture, אֱלָהּ and its plural forms designate the God of Israel or the gods of the nations. The plural with suffix frequently appears in covenantal or polemical contexts, contrasting loyalty to one’s own deity with the worship of other gods. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, masculine plural construct (אלהי) + 2ms suffix (ךָ), with prefixed preposition ל; literally "to the gods of you" addressed to a masculine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun is masculine plural construct with a 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix, indicating possession: "your gods" (addressing a male). The prefixed ל (lamed) adds the prepositional sense "to," which is preserved in the rendering. "Gods" reflects the plural form of the Aramaic אֱלָהּ. |
