Strong's Lexicon eloah: God Original Word: אֱלוֹהַּ Word Origin: Derived from the root אֵל (El), meaning "God" or "mighty one." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "Eloah" is θεός (theos), Strong's Greek #2316, which also means "God." Usage: The term "Eloah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to God, emphasizing His power and might. It is a singular form of the more commonly used "Elohim," which is often used to denote the one true God of Israel. "Eloah" appears primarily in poetic and wisdom literature, such as the Book of Job, where it underscores the majesty and sovereignty of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of a singular, supreme deity was distinct from the polytheistic beliefs of surrounding cultures. The use of "Eloah" in Hebrew scripture reflects the monotheistic faith of the Israelites, who worshiped Yahweh as the one true God. This term highlights God's unique nature and His role as the ultimate authority and creator.
