to the gods of
| Root | אלה (ʾ-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | god, deity, mighty one, object of worship |
| Semantic Range | the (true) God, pagan gods, deities in general, divine beings, objects of worship |
| Conceptual Significance | In the Aramaic portions of Scripture (e.g., Ezra, Daniel), אֱלָהּ and its plural forms can refer either to the God of Israel or to the gods of the nations. The term reflects the broader Semitic conception of deity as a mighty or awe-inspiring power worthy of allegiance or worship. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun common masculine plural construct (Ncmpc) with prefixed preposition לְ ("to/for"). The construct form indicates possession or association with a following noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form אֱלָהֵי is a masculine plural construct of the Aramaic noun אֱלָהּ ("god, deity"), and the prefixed לְ indicates "to" or "for." The rendering "to the gods of" preserves the masculine plural number and the construct state, which expects a following genitive relationship ("of ..."). |
