Why Elohim Is Plural
Just an interesting thought from a Wikipedia post: "One of the frequent cases was the Tetragrammaton, which according to later Rabbinite Jewish practices should not be pronounced but read as אֲדֹנָי (Adonai, lit. transl. My Lords, Pluralis majestatis taken as singular), or, if the previous or next word already was Adonai, as 'Elohim' (אֱלֹהִים/'God')."
Adonai, My Lords, and Elohim, Gods, might be plural not because of Pluralis majestatis, but because they represent a TRINITY.
Though I recall that per Alexander, the Aramaic basis for Elohim means "Above the Flames." THERE is REAL majesty.
