Angels-ELOHIM

Elohim is a Hebrew term that has multiple meanings. It is among the
two well-known Hebrew names for God, the other being Eloha. Eloha
occurs in the book of Job in this singular form and refers to the God of
Israel. Elohim, translated literally “God,” is the name for God that
appears most often in the Bible. It usually refers to the God of Israel
but can be used to connote a pagan deity, even a “goddess.” While
Elohim is plural in form, it is treated as a singular noun, although
again it can refer to pagan “gods.”
Elohim is also used to refer to spirits of the departed, as in 1 Sam.
28:13, where the woman of Endor tells Saul she saw gods ascending out of the earth. Elsewhere Elohim is the name of an angel, as recorded
in Deuteronomy.
The elohim rank ninth in the Mirandola listing of the celestial
hierarchies. Elohim is the name of the seventh of the ten sefiroth and
corresponds to netzach, or victory, in the Book of Formation. Rudolf
Steiner equates the icxusai (spirits of form) of his own hierarchy with
the elohim. Elohim are also represented in art, as in William Blake’s
drawing entitled Elohim Giving Life to Adam.
