Elohim is a Singular Word With a Plural Ending
This is the same case as in the first verse of Genesis: "As the Beginning 'Son' of God, (the Ineffable) created God, the Heavens, and the Earth." The Ineffable is the actor, but is not spoken. 'Created' signifies an imagined plan the Ineffable is becoming. There isn't a separate Creation; the ineffable Source is imagining, and Its imagination is becoming. The Ineffable is the created, and the "flames" (Jethro and us) are It-as-created, also. Becoming is in-house: God is one.
Day one in Genesis 1, by the way, is I believe his revelation, our salvation and Pentecost. A package deal. Most people in becoming Christians never get past Day one. The subsequent Days are psychological advancement, maturing, not the physical evolution of the planet earth.
In Psalms 82: 6, God is not saying that we are gods, he is saying that we are him!!! This is the point also in Deuteronomy 6: 4, that God is one, and we are included in him. And it is the point again in Exodus 3: 14, that God is manifesting in and through us. His emanation is him. There is no division! And again, this is what is meant by Jesus Christ: Jesus is God, YHWH, the Ineffable in action, and Christ is his being in us -- that is, our being him. We are the God-man.
You really have to read Alexander's translations. See v-a.com/bible/ -- he publishes online! I buy his books because there is so much to learn. Yeah, I buy them.
