your gods

Rootאלה (ʾ-l-h)
Core Meaningspower, might, strength, divinity, authority
Semantic Rangegods (plural deities), God (supreme deity, esp. with article or context), judges/magistrates, angels, mighty ones, exceeding great
Conceptual SignificanceEloheykha emphasizes God's personal sovereignty and judicial authority over the individual (2ms), as in the First Commandment (Exod 20:2), underscoring monotheistic covenantal relationship, rejection of other gods, and direct accountability before the Creator-Judge; its plural form hints at divine fullness or majesty while singular usage in context affirms YHWH's uniqueness.
Morphological NotesHNcmpc/Sp2ms: Noun, common gender, masculine in form, plural, construct state, with 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix.
Rendering RationaleThis rendering preserves the plural form of the construct noun 'elohey' (gods/powers) and the 2nd person masculine singular pronominal suffix '-kha' (your, addressing a male), directly reflecting the morphology HNcmpc/Sp2ms; it maintains the root's semantic field of divine power while avoiding singularization common in traditional translations that interpret it theologically as the supreme God.
