The Mysteries and Wisdom of the Hebrew Word Elohim

 

Until the end of the exodus, neither Abraham nor the descendants of Isaac, had ever lived in their own land. They had been living in the lands of people who had many gods – and they had their own languages. None of them used the English word “god” or the Hebrew word “Elohim” to identify their deities.

The Moment the Humans Created Shame in the Garden in Eden

For readers of most English translations, this is a story about two naked people who didn’t know they were naked until they ate the forbidden fruit .
