Elohim is the word that opens the Bible: “In the beginning, God (Elohim) created.” Though plural in form, it takes singular verbs when referring to the true God — a usage many see as hinting at his fullness and majesty.

Elohim stresses God as the mighty Creator and ruler of all. Alongside his personal covenant name (YHWH), it frames the Bible’s God as both transcendent Maker and near, covenant-keeping Lord.
