History[]
Elohim is a common name of God in Judaism. It is often used as a plural term in the Hebrew Bible, and some use it refer to the God of the New Testament, while Yahweh would refer to the God of the Old Testament.
Elohim occurs frequently throughout the Torah. In some cases, it behaves like a singular noun in Hebrew grammar, and is then generally understood to denote the single God of Israel. In other cases, Elohim acts as an ordinary plural of the word Eloah, and refers to the polytheistic notion of multiple gods. Rabbinic scholar Maimonides wrote that the various other usages are commonly understood to be homonyms.
In the Latter Day Saint movement and Mormonism, Elohim refers to God the Father. Elohim is the father of Jesus in both the physical and the spiritual realms, whose name before birth is said to be Jehovah. One meaning includes, "He with whom the Afraid take Refuge."
The notion of divinity underwent radical changes in the early period of Israelite identity and development of Ancient Hebrew religion. The ambiguity of the term elohim is the result of such changes, the re-interpretation of the gods of the earliest recalled period as the national god of monolatrism as it emerged in the Kingdom of Judah and during the Babylonian captivity, and further in terms of monotheism by the emergence of Rabbinical Judaism.

In ancient Semitic lore, it is referred to as 'El' in a singular manner but also as a pantheon of gods at times.
