The exact meaning of this word is dubious. It is supposed that it may mean "angels" or "rulers".
Dr. Michael S. Heiser claims<ref>Michael S. Heiser. The Unseen Realm. 2015</ref> that elohiym (in plural form only) in Hebrew Bible means the same as "angels" in New Testament.
[[User:Victor Porton|Victor Porton]]'s opinion: Yahweh means "democratic way of governance of the infinite universe". The members of council are called [[Hebrew:אלהים|אלהים]]. Thus [[Hebrew:אלהים|אלהים]] means both the supreme God Yahweh (as a whole) or gods members of the divine council. This explain why the same word is used for both God Yahweh and gods.
