Trivi-EL
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
In this verse, the Hebrew word for
God is
ELOHIYM, which is actually a plural word meaning
gods. The singular form of this name is
EL. Now here's a bit of trivia I think you'll enjoy: In all the following names, the
EL suffix is intended to mean
of God:
- IMMANU-EL - with us of God
- GABRI-EL - strong man of God
- MICHA-EL - who is of God
- RAPHA-EL - healed of God
- DANI-EL - judge of God
- EZEKI-EL - strength of God
- ANG-EL - messenger of God
- ISRA-EL - power of God
- BAB-EL - gate of God
