El: God, in Canaanite vocabulary, but found also in the OT, sometimes in conjunction with another word, e.g. Beth el = House of God. Elohim: the more common form in the OT; it is plural in form, emphasizing majesty.

So I have to do do one thing:
- Put El and Elohim together!
- And also separate them!
- And I will also have to see when both are employed!

[JLG]

- God (Elohim) comes first!
- The LORD (Yah.weh) comes second!
- In Genesis chapter 1, God (Elohim) appears as the Creator!
- Genesis chapter presents God (Elohim) as the Creator!
- In the same chapter 2, we see the LORD (Yah.weh) God (Elohim) appears for the first time again as Creator in relation to the history of the heavens and the earth!
- And it is everywhere in this chapter 2!
- And in this chapter 2, we are mainly told about God and man!
- Thus when man is created, the Bible speaks about the LORD (Yah.weh) God (Elohim) and not just God (Elohim)!
- Do you see the point?
- Yes, the LORD (Yah.weh) God (Elohim)!

 

[JLG]

- In Genesis chapter 3, we have mainly the LORD (Yah.weh) God (Elohim)!
- There are only three times when we see God (Elohim): when the serpent speaks about God!
- Do you see the point?
- Do you see the difference between the LORD (Yah.weh) God (Elohim) and God (Elohim)!

 

[JLG]

- Then in Genesis chapter 4, we mainly get the LORD (Yah.weh)!
- And what are we told about in this chapter?
- Adam - Eve - Cain - Abel - Abel having God’s favor - Cain killing Abel - Cain’s exile - their descendants - Seth
- And chapter 4 ends by this sentence:

- THE WILL TO HIDE GOD’S NAME!

 

[JLG]

- Then in chapter 5, we are told about Adam’s history when Adam left God!

- Do you understand the point?
- Man away from God!

 

[JLG]

- In chapter 6, God (Elohim) is a bit more used than the LORD (Yah.weh)!
- Here God (Elohim) is connected to the dark side of mankind when it is away from God!

- In this case, the Bible expresses God’s real deep feelings!
- Do you see the point?
- A WILL TO HIDE THE REAL NATURE OF GOD!
- BUT YAH.WEH IS FAR MORE THAN GOD!

 

[JLG]

- In chapter 7, both God (Elohim) and the LORD (Yah.weh) are used but again in a different way!
- The LORD (Yah.weh) is used when God tells Noah what to do before the flood and how to be saved!
- When everything is done, then God (Elohim) is used!
- Do you see the point?
- Yah.weh is the GOD OF ACTION!

[JLG]

- In chapter 8, the flood is connected to God (Elohim)!
