אֱלָהּ (ʾĕlāh) is an Aramaic noun meaning god. It appears 97 times in 3 books of the Hebrew Bible (Strong's H426).
Root family 2576: אֱלָה ʾĕlāh — god, God. This is the usual word for God in BA. Its determinative state is ʾĕlāhāʾ; the plural ʾĕlāhîn. It is like the uncommon Hebrew ʾĕlōah which is used largely in Job (see no. 93b). It differs from the Hebrew in that there is no plural of majesty in which the word “God” is plural but construed as a singular. The plural form in BA simply means “gods.”
