JND Translation Notes

a

Heb. Elohim, the plural of Eloah, "the Supreme". It is Deity in the absolute sense. Elohim will, in the text, appear only in the name of Jehovah Elohim; moreover, when Elohim following immediately on Jehovah has a grammatical adjunct, its place will be taken by the English word "God". see Gen. 9.26 and 24.7. Other Hebrew divine names translated as "God" will be indicated as follows. Eloah +God; El, (meaning "The Mighty," see Gen. 14.18), *God. For the meaning of Jehovah, (Heb. Yahveh, or Yehveh), the ever-existing One, see Ex. 3.14,15; Isa. 40.28. For Jah, the existing One objectively, see Ex. 15.2; Ps. 68.4. The name seems to express absolute rather than continuous existence. For Adonai (a name of God, not merely a title), translated "Lord", see Ezek. 2.4.
