SIBI-P1 H430-11
his God-powers
| Root | אלה (ʾ-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | power, strength, deity, divine powers, forces |
| Semantic Range | Supreme God (of Israel), gods (pagan), angels, judges/magistrates, divine powers or forces in general contexts. |
| Conceptual Significance | Elohim underscores God's majestic plurality of power, sovereignty as Creator and Judge, and distinction from pagan deities; its use with suffixes like 'his God-powers' highlights personal covenant relationship, emphasizing divine intimacy amid transcendent might in Israelite theology. |
| Morphological Notes | Bound noun form: Hebrew Noun common masculine plural construct (HNcmpc) with 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix (Sp3ms); construct state indicates possession, here 'his Elohim'. |
| Rendering Rationale | This rendering preserves the plural construct form (HNcmpc) of אֱלֹהִים, emphasizing its core semantic field of divine powers or forces as derived from the root, while the 3ms suffix /ו is reflected as 'his' to match the masculine singular possessor; it avoids singularizing to 'God' to honor the morphological plurality used intensively for the supreme God. |
