The Hebrew word ‘ēlōhîm is the plural form of ‘ēlŏah
(or its shortened form, ‘el). The
term describes a being of divine power, usually a divine being (a god) but
sometimes a king or judge possessing delegated divine authority (e.g., Ps
58:1). (Michael LeFebvre, The Liturgy of
Creation: Understanding Calendars in Old Testament Context [Downers Grove,
Ill.: IVP Academic, 2019], 145 n. 12)
