Elohim

rdfs:comment

Elohim literally means "Gods" (yes, plural) in Hebrew. It is used by the Elohist Source of the Bible to refer to God. Predating the monotheistic variety of Judaism, the Elohist text is believed by some to have originated at around c. 850 BCE. In later adaptations its polytheistic elements were largely removed, leaving only atavistic remnants such as Genesis 3:22 and its plural form as indicators of its polytheistic significance. The name Elohim itself is only used in the early parts of the Elohist text, changing to Yahweh after the Burning Bush incident. “The word Elohim is the plural of El (or possibly Eloah) and is the first name of God given in the Old Testament: “In the beginning, God (Elohim) created the heavens and the earth, (Genesis 1:1). “The name Elohim is unique to Hebraic thinking – it occurs only in Hebrew and in no other ancient Semitic language. The masculine plural ending does not mean “gods” when referring to the true God of Israel, since the name is mainly used with singular verb forms and with adjectives and pronouns in the singular (e.g. see Genesis 1:26).” [1] They were multi-dimensional creatures that utilised spacecraft, but were capable of moving through walls. They appeared as shining skulls wearing shrouds and spoke in whispery voices that echoed. Additionally, their presence caused exothermic osmotic energy transference, meaning the room grew cold whenever they were about to appear. The Elohim began a "war in heaven" against the rest of their species, who pursued them. Rather than fight them directly, the Elohim set themselves up as "generals" and sought others to fight the battle for them. (AUDIO: Paradise 5) File:SpeciesStub.png Elohim (エロヒム) is a demon in the series. Elohim (Hebrew: אֱלֹהִים) is a grammatically singular or plural noun for "god" or "gods" in both modern and ancient Hebrew language. When used with singular verbs and adjectives elohim is usually singular, "god" or especially, the God. When used with plural verbs and adjectives elohim is usually plural, "gods" or "powers". It is generally thought that Elohim is a formation from eloah, the latter being an expanded form of the Northwest Semitic noun il (אֵל, ʾēl). It is usually translated as "God" in the Hebrew Bible, referring with singular verbs both to the one God of Israel, and also in a few examples to other singular pagan deities. With plural verbs the word is also used as a true plural with the meaning "gods". The related nouns eloah (אלוה) and el (אֵל) are used as proper names or as The Elohim are winged celestial beings who served as messengers and attendants of God in Heaven. "for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." -First book of Samuel, chapter 16 Elohim, the Powers, are the fourth Choir of angels. They are opposed by Habbalah, the Punishers. Elohim are natural advisors and counselors, and some Elohim perform important roles in Heavenly decision-making. Elohim are a race of spirits who possess god-like powers. To mortal perceptions, they appear as beautiful men and women in a remote, sealed-off region of the Earth, and spend their time in dazzling physical transformations. In their own perspective, they constitute the animating principle of the Earth, and the history of the Land is the manifestation of events in their own consciousness. As they regard their own domain as the only "real" place in the Earth, they rarely dabble in outside events. However, if they perceive a grave threat to the Earth, one of their number is "Appointed" to attempt to avert the threat - and to bear the cost of failing. Elohim was a star that was located a number of parsecs away from Earth and the Sol system, in Federation space, near the border between the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. The Federation starship USS Elohim was named for this location. (TOS reference: Star Fleet Technical Manual) Immanuel Logos was a follower of Sirona, goddess of wisdom. He ruled a small tribe in her name, dispensing wisdom and providing shelter for her followers. Until one day he observed her army, a phalanx of titans, marching upon a stronghold of Aeron. The armies met in a field worked by a group of subsistence farmers. When the battle ended, the armies were tattered, but the bystanders were worse, broken in body, fields destroyed, and despondent of spirit. It was a scene played out countless times, as dragons crushed struggling settlements when they clashed or holy fire rained down upon those caught in the middle. Immanuel believed in his goddess, but he could no longer stand on the sidelines, nor confine his care to his own people.

They were multi-dimensional creatures that utilised spacecraft, but were capable of moving through walls. They appeared as shining skulls wearing shrouds and spoke in whispery voices that echoed.

The Elohim began a "war in heaven" against the rest of their species, who pursued them. Rather than fight them directly, the Elohim set themselves up as "generals" and sought others to fight the battle for them. (AUDIO: Paradise 5) File:SpeciesStub.png Elohim (Hebrew: אֱלֹהִים) is a grammatically singular or plural noun for "god" or "gods" in both modern and ancient Hebrew language. When used with singular verbs and adjectives elohim is usually singular, "god" or especially, the God. When used with plural verbs and adjectives elohim is usually plural, "gods" or "powers". It is generally thought that Elohim is a formation from eloah, the latter being an expanded form of the Northwest Semitic noun il (אֵל, ʾēl). It is usually translated as "God" in the Hebrew Bible, referring with singular verbs both to the one God of Israel, and also in a few examples to other singular pagan deities. With plural verbs the word is also used as a true plural with the meaning "gods". The related nouns eloah (אלוה) and el (אֵל) are used as proper names or as generics, in which case they are interchangeable with elohim. Mark S. Smith said that the notion of divinity underwent radical changes throughout the period of early Israelite identity. Smith said that the ambiguity of the term Elohim is the result of such changes, cast in terms of "vertical translatability" by Smith (2008); i.e. the re-interpretation of the gods of the earliest recalled period as the national god of the monolatrism as it emerged in the 7th to 6th century BCE in the Kingdom of Judah and during the Babylonian captivity, and further in terms of monotheism by the emergence of Rabbinical Judaism in the 2nd century CE. A different version was produced by Morton Smith. Despite the -im ending common to many plural masculine nouns in Hebrew, the word when referring to the Name of God is grammatically singular, and takes a singular verb in the Hebrew Bible. The word is identical to the usual plural of el meaning gods or magistrates, and is cognate to the 'l-h-m found in Ugaritic, where it is used for the pantheon of Canaanite gods, the children of El and conventionally vocalized as "Elohim". Most use of the term Elohim in the later Hebrew text imply a view that is at least monolatrist at the time of writing, and such usage (in the singular), as a proper title for the supreme deity, is generally not considered to be synonymous with the term elohim, "gods" (plural, simple noun). Hebrew grammar allows for this nominally-plural form to mean "He is the Power (singular) over powers (plural)", or roughly, "God of gods". Rabbinic scholar Maimonides wrote that the various other usages are commonly understood to be homonyms. The Elohim are winged celestial beings who served as messengers and attendants of God in Heaven. "for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." -First book of Samuel, chapter 16 Elohim, the Powers, are the fourth Choir of angels. They are opposed by Habbalah, the Punishers. Whereas Seraphim are attuned to the Truth, Elohim are drawn to seek out perspectives on that truth. They themselves strive for a pure perspective, uncolored by subjective emotion. Their resonance gives them an uncanny ability to perceive the emotions clouding the thoughts of others. Elohim are not emotionless, but they are compelled to separate that emotion out from their judgments and actions. Elohim are natural advisors and counselors, and some Elohim perform important roles in Heavenly decision-making. Elohim (エロヒム) is a demon in the series.

The name Elohim itself is only used in the early parts of the Elohist text, changing to Yahweh after the Burning Bush incident. Elohim, singular Elohah is also the name of extra-terrestrials who created us according to the atheistic, 'religion' of Raëlism. Immanuel Logos was a follower of Sirona, goddess of wisdom. He ruled a small tribe in her name, dispensing wisdom and providing shelter for her followers. Until one day he observed her army, a phalanx of titans, marching upon a stronghold of Aeron. The armies met in a field worked by a group of subsistence farmers. When the battle ended, the armies were tattered, but the bystanders were worse, broken in body, fields destroyed, and despondent of spirit. It was a scene played out countless times, as dragons crushed struggling settlements when they clashed or holy fire rained down upon those caught in the middle. Immanuel believed in his goddess, but he could no longer stand on the sidelines, nor confine his care to his own people. Off came his regal symbols, and he tossed aside his sacred spear for the last time. He gathered orphaned children in his arms, and doled comfort to the dying. Sirona watched this noble leader leave her service but did not forbid him leaving. She knew that for humanity to survive, they needed more than someone fighting on their behalf. They needed care and shelter through the days of heavenly warfare. Thus was born an order of monks. Before the compact, they had no permanent home. They traveled the world, tending to the battered and broken under the guidance of Immanuel and his successors, who took his name to show their spiritual heritage and authority. Their service attracted other kind hearted souls to their number, and they became one of the most trusted groups in the eyes of men and angels. Thus, when the compact was forged, they were the only mortals who witnessed the handing of the Godslayer to the legend Finner. The agreement of the gods to withdraw from direct combat in mortal realms was met by the world Erebus herself with great joy, and at that spot seven fir trees were born to stand witness. Before departing, Sucellus tasked the order of the Elohim with tending to this and other sacred sites, some symbols of great importance, some fonts of power. As the kingdoms of men arose in the #Age of Magic, the Elohim continued this mission, peacefully when possible, with force when necessary. Warlords who searched for clues to the location of Finner’s tomb, wizards who coveted an angel's tears for his magics, and others sought the Elohim's knowledge, secrets that they often died to protect. The warrior monk tradition was begun in these trying times, men who carried no weapon, so anathema was warfare was to them, but could subdue marauders within the blink of an eye. The monks purity was a ward against the more vile forces that saught to harm their charges. Then came Bhall's fall and Mulcarn's breach of the Compact. Elohim lost contact with many of their sacred sites, abandoning them to the elements and wildmen. But they returned to their original mission, and traveled to desperate communities, tending to disease and enshrining dying knowledge in chants and stories so when rebirth came, it would be swift and complete. As in the age of Dragons, their numbers swelled with those inspired by their example, and they become not just an order, but a nation. Today that nation has emerged into the sunlight of rebirth. Einion Logos is the head of the ancient order of Elohim, a position of unequaled respect. He is ancient himself, but wishes to live however long enough to see his followers reclaim their shrines. Gariel the Strong was the King of the Elohim nation which shelters the order. He lead his people out of the Age of Ice, but his reign was cut short by illness and passed to Ethne the White, his daughter who must now withstand the trials of the Age of Rebirth. Elohim was a star that was located a number of parsecs away from Earth and the Sol system, in Federation space, near the border between the Alpha and Beta Quadrants. The Federation starship USS Elohim was named for this location.
