From the wikipedia site:
"Elohim has plural morphological form in Hebrew, but it is used with singular verbs and adjectives in the Hebrew text when the particular meaning of the God of Israel (a singular deity) is traditionally understood."
Does that prove the texts were altered at some stage or what? The word for gods wasn't changed but the need to narrow it down to just one meant the plurality had to be disguised.
Also from the site:
"According to many proponents of this theory, Elohim is consistently used in texts that reflect the early northern traditions of the Kingdom of Israel, whereas Yahweh ('Jehovah', Latin 'I?hova') is consistently used in texts that derive from the early southern traditions, of the Kingdom of Judah and Jerusalem."
Supports the idea that the Old Testament was first concocted by Josiah about 600 BC as propaganda. Anything earlier than his time is pure myth. No Solomon, no David, no Abraham, no Moses, no Exodus, well, no anything really.
