Plural verbs with Elohim as God

Article is original research; seems to be an essay. Cites only one source for a small part; the rest is unsourced. Fails WP:RS, WP:V. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 15:50, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Based on comments left on the talk page [1], it is a content fork as well. BradV 21:20, 6 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Elohim. Agree this article seems to be a content fork of Elohim and its contents belong there. The basic argument that some academic scholars have hypothesized a polytheistic origin because the word is normally used as a plural seems reliably sourced, but this perspective is simply one view of Elohim and belongs in the perspective of the other views reflected in that article.

Delete. Looks like an OR essay. Nsk92 (talk) 14:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE: This is a blatant content fork of Elohim, and the basic view that it was created to express (as seen from the comment at Talk:Plural verbs with Elohim as God) -- i.e. that the word Elohim referring to the God of Israel is very frequently used with plural verbs, plural adjectives, and plural pronouns -- has been rejected by the consensus of mainstream scholarship in the ancient Hebrew language. The fact that garbled and/or completely non-standard transliterations of Hebrew are used doesn't help. The idea of a divine council in the Old Testament deserves some treatment on Wikipedia, but article Elohim probably isn't the best place for it, and this article does very little to provide a useful description of the (rather limited) evidence for it.
