List under Elohim (disambiguation) or Combine with Elohim[edit]

Suggest this article be listed under "Elohim (disambiguation)" or better yet, combined with the article "Elohim". -- LKS 5/15/06

Yes, I don't see why it should have a separate entry.

Added second paragraph. -- LKS 6/1/06

The second paragraph of this article has been changed and those changes represent the same bias that appears throughout the other "Elohim" article. The Ugarit tablets predate the compilation of the Torah by at least 500 years and it is apparent that the Hebrews borrowed the word Elohim from the Canaanites (Phoenicians) and forced it to the singular via a singular verb.

Thank you for clarifying this. It is now clear to me that Queen Victoria was originally two or more people, since she refered to herself as "we." I am also eager to see your records of the Torah's composition. They sound like a groundbreaking find. --Eliyak T·C 08:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are some faults in this article that I can see. First of all, the title Ancient of Days should be capatilized, as should Olam, as they are titles. Furthermore, this article seems to identify Baal as the same deity as El. Whilst this seems to be what the Canaanites did in a later time period, they were originally distinct.
