In Strong’s Concordance, the primary definition of Hebrew word 430 “God” (in the Lexicon section) is a plural word that means 'deities' - therefore where in the Bible the word GOD has been perceived and interpreted as a single GOD, it actually referred to plural deities.
Conclusion:
The single religious “one true GOD” perception is no longer valid - as the original meaning was ‘deities’ (plural).
Therefore to which ‘deities’ does the Creation account in Genesis 1:1 refer ?
My question still remains unanswered.
(1) The original meaning for the Hebrew word ‘GOD’ (aleim : OE Elohim) is “deities” - and not GOD as we have been led to believe.
Also, looking at the original Hebrew writings, shows that the Old English translation has moved the order of the words which has placed the verb on the perceived GOD.
Original order is
in•beginning he-created Elohim » the•heavens and•» the•earth
(b•rashith bra aleim ath e•shmim u•ath e•artz)
Source This reads as “in the beginning (he) created deities, the sky and earth”.
This is telling a totally different story.
(2) Something else other than the perceived GOD, (the “he”) created the deities, the sky, and earth - in that order.
Are these conclusions valid ?
