New paper (should be #OpenAccess, something went wrong)! I argue that the plural features of the #Hebrew word for 'god' are inherited from an older stage of #Semitic. Archaic Biblical Hebrew still reflects a paradigm in between Standard Biblical Hebrew and the reconstructed Semitic one. 🐦🐦
Semitic *ʾilāh- and Hebrew ‫:אלהים‬ From plural 'gods' to singular 'God'
The Biblical Hebrew word ‫אלהים‬ is plural in form. Semantically and syntactically, however, it can be plural or singular. The stem of this noun can be reconstructed as *ʾilāh-. As already noted by We...
