Well, OK, if you insist.
Gen 28:12 - And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of
God H430 ascending and descending on it.
Gen 32:1 - And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of
God H430 met him.
Psa 8:5 - For
thou [H430] hast made him a little lower than the
angels [of God], H430 and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Psa 68:17 - The chariots of
God H430 are twenty thousand,
even thousands of angels: the Lord
is among them,
as in Sinai, in the holy
place.
> My site isn't bringing anything else up for
angels under H430, therefore I see Psalms 8:5 as being a
[typo], where the reference of H430 should've been placed after the word "thou".
What did you find of the other "several"?
I think you can understand that the folks who lived 3,000 years ago in a culture radically different (Ancient Near East) than our Modern West might think differently, that their world view might be quite different than our own. The ancient Near East Jew looked at a word and thought one thing, whereas a modern Westerner looks at the same word and thinks something totally different. It's no wonder that language and the meaning of words change with time. Part of really digging deep into the scriptures requires that we look at things from their perspective, not ours. After all, the Bible was not written last year in New York or LA. :)
With that said, here's three verses that call singular entities by the plural elohiym:
Judg 11:24,
Wilt not thou possess that which Chemosh thy god (elohiym) giveth thee to possess? So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.
Chemosh is not considered to be a trinity, but he is called elohiym, plural.
1 Kgs 11:5,
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
Ashtoreth is not considered to be a trinity, but she is called elohiym, plural.
2 Kgs 1:2,
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that [was] in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
Baalzebub is not considered to be a trinity, but he is called elohiym, plural.
Elohiym is not God's name. His name is Yahweh, which means:
H3068 יְהוָה Yhvah (yeh-vaw') n/p.
יְהוָֹה Yhovah (yeh-ho-vaw')
יְהוֹ Yhow (yeh-ho') [as a prefix]
1. (meaning) the self-Existent or Eternal, the I AM.
2. (person) Yahweh (Yehvah), Jewish national name of God.
When we want to specifically designate the creator of the universe, we us "Yahweh." Yahweh is the one true God. Jesus is the son of Yahweh.
Elohiym means:
H430 אֱלֹהִים 'elohiym (el-o-heem') n-m.
אֱלֹהֵי 'elohiy (el-o-hee') [alternate plural]
1. (literally) supreme ones.
2. (hence, in the ordinary sense) gods.
As you saw in your research, there are many elohiym but only one Yahweh. Whatever one might believe about the trinity, the usage of the plural Elohiym for Yahweh is not a good proof for the trinity.
