The third view, and the main focus of this book, is the angelic view. The angelic view postulates that the sons of God were angels, although as previously mentioned they are not necessarily limited to just angels, more on that later.

Form—Psalms 12 starts as a lament by David crying out for help; summoning Yahweh to intervene (v.1). In v. 1-4 David makes his complaint and reason for the prayer of help (describing the wickedness of all), with an answer after every statement on what the Lord should do to those that commit the action described. Thus, v. 2 is answered, almost in the form of a syntax parallelism, by v.3—the same is true for vs. 4 & 5. v.5b—David induces Yahweh to intervene by stating, “I [Yahweh] will spring into…

In Genesis 9 of the Common English Bible, the Divine Creator is named Elohim, the Strong One.

In this scripture the name El Elohim means "God, the Supreme God" or "El, the Supreme God." In 2 Samuel 22:31, 33 and 48 King David gives thanks to El for his blessings and deliverance. The Hebrew name of Eloah meaning "a God" is a singular form of El. In Job 6:8 the prophet Job asks for death so he can have comfort.

The first one is known as the Elohist (E). E source has a tendency to use the divine name Elohim and has a focus on North, Israel.

has come about relatively recently. The Bible itself claims that Moses wrote the Bible and the Church has believed this to be true since the beginning. It wasn’t until the Enlightenment and the Reformation that people began to question these things. The first person to question this was Jean Astruc. He believed that the different usage of the names of God Yahweh and Elohim was proof that there were different sources for the authorship of the Pentateuch. Then Julius Wellenhausen expanded upon…

Yahweh Elohim,” a Hebrew word for what many translate in English to mean “God” created and set in motion his framework for the world. God, three beings in one is all knowing and powerful and transcendent is who the Judeo-Christian community refer to as their creator.
