 * 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: 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.
