The term Elohim is grammatically plural but often used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the singular God of Israel.
Paraphrase, not a translation, of: Book of Genesis, Chapter 1, Hebrew Bible (circa 6th to 5th century BCE).
The Bible often uses "sons of" to say who someone belongs to.
Bible translations often render the same words as "children of", so English counts are different.
The Bible usually just says "Moab" for the Moabites.
This chart maps the "son" and "shepherd" figures of the Bible, and the gods the Bible calls false, with a verse for each.
The Hebrew Bible uses several different words for "man", and it names several peoples it describes as giants.
But these Atlanteans that survived, that were tall and considered the demigods, considered the idea of the union between the gods and man, these that were, as your Bible says, the heroes of old, the heroes of renown in the olden days, the giants that walked the Earth at that time, and that did boost the various human civilizations around them—being human themselves but also again mixed very strongly with extraterrestrial Anunnaki blood and genetics, did seek to preserve and over time became blended more and more through procreation into human society, creating different bloodlines, some of which contain more or less Anunnaki genetics.
They are some of the earliest evidence of his worship from outside the Bible.
Older poetic texts in the Bible also link Yahweh with the south, for example Habakkuk 3:3, "God came from Teman".

Then I turn to the Hebrew Bible.
It keeps the names Yahweh and Elohim where most Bibles write "the LORD" and "God".
The Hebrew Bible speaks of Yahweh as the owner of the earth, the Elohim of the entire earth and its coming king.
The Hebrew Bible names him as Nebo in Isaiah 46:1 and Jeremiah 48:1.
For how the Bible handles other gods, see The Gods in the Bible.
The Bible speaks of one God of Israel, but it calls him by many names.
Oliver saw the Bible as occult teaching that later editors had changed.
“The Bible is sound occult doctrine, so far as the matter in it has escaped revisers, and worse than revisers – the Roman Catholic interpolators and twisters of its truth.”
The Bible also uses it for the gods of other nations.
The Bible names many gods of the nations around Israel.
The Bible mentions the “Asherah poles” used in her worship (Judges 3:7).
The Bible often condemns her together with Baal (Judges 2:13, 1 Samuel 7:3).
The Oahspe Bible also uses the name Ashtaroth.
Enlil wants a cull, wants to get rid of the human beings, just the same as the Yahweh character in the Bible.
Elohim is undeniably a plural term, and it indicates a group of individuals to which the Bible’s protagonist belongs: Yahweh.
In the Bible it became a symbol of worldly corruption and human pride.
The Bible condemns Babylon as immoral.
Some readers apply the titles Eloah and Elohim to people who carry divine power, and hold that the Bible promises the faithful a share in the divine nature.
And where do we find a story of a great flood in the Bible?
And there is more Atlantean legacy in the Bible:
While the bible has been modified and syncretized, these years are peculiar and precise.
In my opinion, there are other references in the bible.
Before entering into the details of the tablet, I must first refer to the accounts of the Deluge given in the Bible, and by Berosus, the Chaldean historian, as I shall have to compare these with the Cuneiform record.
In comparing the text of the Deluge Tablet with the accounts in the Bible and Berosus, the first point that meets us is the consideration of the proper names.
These details have no parallel either in the Bible or Berosus.
The month and day when the Deluge commenced, which are given in the Bible and Berosus, are not mentioned in the text, unless the fifth day, mentioned in a mutilated passage, is part of this date.
With regard to the duration of the Deluge, there appears to be a serious difference between the Bible and the inscription.
With regard to the mountain on which the ark rested there is a difference between the Bible and the inscription, which is more apparent than real.
The vessel being stranded on the mountain, the Bible, Berosus, and the inscription all agree that trial was made by birds in order to ascertain if the Flood had subsided; but in the details of these trials there are curious differences in all three narratives.
Thus, the inscription agrees with the Bible as to the sending out of the raven and dove, but adds to these the trial of the swallow, which is not in Genesis.
In the statement of the building of the altar, and offering sacrifice after leaving the ark, all three accounts agree; but in the subsequent matter there is an important difference between the Bible and the inscription, for while the Bible represents Noah as living for many years after the Flood, the inscription on the other hand agrees with Berosus in making Sisit to be translated like the gods.
This translation is in the Bible recorded of Enoch, the ancestor of Noah.
On reviewing the evidence it is apparent that the events of the Flood narrated in the Bible and the inscription are the same, and occur in the same order; but the minor differences in the details show that the inscription embodies a distinct and independent tradition.
In conclusion I would remark that this account of the Deluge opens to us a new field of inquiry in the early part of the Bible history.
Neither should you judge thyself by any sacred book, or any bible, in all the world; nor by the words within them purporting to be my words, or the words of any God, Lord or Savior.
For I have abolished all such sacred books and bibles and words and sayings contained in them, purporting to be my words and the words of any God, Lord or Savior.
To Jehovih only should you covenant thyself, and this should you do in your** own way only, and not according to any book, or bible, or priest, or church, or spirit.
And from the bibles and sacred books of the ancients; and from the ancient commandments and injunctions, that, as a consequence, you are not bound in fidelity to thy Creator.

Other deities such as Baal and Asherah are mentioned in the Bible.
The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) and the Old Testament mention deities like Baal, Asherah, Molech and others.
The Bible presents the worship of other gods as a breach of the covenant between the Israelites and their God (Yahweh).
Throughout the Bible, the worship of other gods is idolatry, and it is strongly condemned.
So the mentions of gods like Baal and Asherah in the Bible show how hard it was for Israel to stay monotheistic among polytheistic neighbors.
The Bible discusses them in order to reject and condemn their worship in favor of one God over all.
The term Elyon (also spelled Elyown or Elyohn) is a Hebrew word meaning “Most High.” The Hebrew Bible often uses it to mark the supreme status of God.
In the Bible, El Elyon joins “El” (a general word for God) with “Elyon.” Together they mean “God Most High.” The title expresses the height and majesty of God.
“Elyon” in the Bible reflects the monotheistic belief in one supreme God.
The Bible describes these “other gods” to condemn their worship and urge believers to follow the one true God.
When the Bible mentions gods like Baal or Asherah, it does not grant that they are real or rightful gods.
The Bible names these deities to:
The Bible names gods like Baal, Asherah and Molech because the Israelites lived among neighbors who widely worshiped these deities.
It does not mean the Bible’s authors thought these gods were divine.
When the Bible speaks of other gods, it usually condemns or rejects them.
The Bible insists these idols are powerless and cannot compare to the living God of Israel.

Origins: The concept of a young Earth, roughly 6,000 years old, originates from biblical interpretations, particularly from the genealogies in the Bible.
Church Authority: The Catholic Church, and later various Protestant denominations, interpreted the Bible literally and taught the creation story as a factual account of Earth's origins.
Religious Context: Despite the shift in mainstream education, the 6,000-year-old Earth concept continued to be taught in some religious schools, particularly those adhering to a literal interpretation of the Bible.
Modern Times: Today, the concept of a young Earth is generally limited to specific religious communities and schools that adhere to a literal interpretation of the Bible.
Charles Lyell, a geologist who supported the concept of an ancient Earth, faced strong criticism from religious leaders who viewed his theories as direct contradictions of the Bible’s Genesis account.
