Eloah: Goddess of the BibleBy David B. Clark Among
the many pearls of truth that have purposely been concealed from
churches and synagogues is the awareness that Elohim is simultaneously
God and Goddess. In the original Hebrew of the Bible, Eloah [el-LO-ah],
is the feminine form of 'God.' This one specific word, Eloah, literally
means "Goddess.” Theologians, motivated by various agendas,
deliberately masked profound truths about Elohim [pronounced
el-lo-HEEM], the God of the Bible. They intentionally obscured the
presence of the Divine Feminine. Even though some of the Hebrew words
for God have a distinctly feminine gender, translators have almost
universally suppressed this, being unwilling to use the feminine word
"Goddess.” They have consistently used only masculine pronouns when
referring to God – even when feminine pronouns would have been correct.
Present-day
Bible dictionaries and concordances are still biased, and ignore basic
Hebrew grammatical rules in translating the various words for Deity. The
result is that most Christians and Jews have been mis-taught that God
is exclusively male.
Elohim is a majestic, awesome Being that is
beyond comprehension. Elohim is translated into English as 'God.' It is
actually a gender-combined word, simultaneously representing both unity
and majestic plurality. It is a compound of the feminine singular Eloah
with the masculine plural suffix -im. Eloah is the feminine singular
counterpart of El, which means God. Eloah is correctly translated as
"Goddess.” In Hebrew, the -oah, -oh or -ah suffix makes a word feminine
[comparable to the English suffix -ess, used in such words as waitress
and stewardess.]
In Aramaic, the original language of New
Testament times, the word Abwoon is similarly gender-combined, meaning
"Father-Mother.” In the original Aramaic, 'The Lord's Prayer' begins
with the word Abwoon, but in English translations of the Bible, it has
been translated as Father, only.
El Shaddai is another name of
God used in the Bible. The word 'shad' means 'woman's breast,' and
'shaddai' means 'breasts,' or 'many breasts.' Though El Shaddai is
translated as 'God Almighty,' or 'the Almighty' in the English Bible, it
literally means 'God with breasts' or '[many] breasted [God].' The name
El Shaddai refers to the Goddess of Israel.
There is a radically
important declaration in Exodus 6:3: "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob by the name of El Shaddai, but by my name Yahweh I was not
known to them.” The Patriarchs were aware of the Father [Yahweh], but
Elohim related to them primarily as the Goddess, El Shaddai.
The
word Eloah appears fifty-seven times in the Old Testament, and Shaddai
or El Shaddai appears forty-eight times; two-thirds of these are found
in the book of Job. Job lived during the days of Abraham, and Job is the
second most ancient book of the Bible. There are two specific
declarations of the femininity of Eloah, in Job. The Father announced,
"the sea 'leapt tumultuous from the womb'.” [Job 38:8] Then, He
rhetorically asked, "Out of whose womb came the ice?” [Job 38:29]
Obviously there is a Biblical Goddess, Eloah, from whose Divine Womb
sprang the sea and ice.
Ruach ha Kodesh is the Hebrew phrase that
means 'Holy Spirit.' Ruach is feminine, and the Aramaic equivalent ruah
is also a feminine noun. These words are always paired with feminine
verbs and pronouns. The Holy Spirit is feminine, and is another
designation of Eloah. In the original Aramaic texts, Messiah promised:
"And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter,
that She may dwell with you forever.” [John 14:16]
Wisdom is
another name for the Goddess. 'Wisdom' is the feminine Hebrew word
Hochmah; the equivalent name in Greek is Sophia. Although the word
'wisdom' definitely is equated with good judgment and astuteness, Wisdom
unmistakably refers to Goddess in several scripture passages, The
Messiah said: "Wisdom is proven by Her children.” [Luke 7:35]
Wisdom
announces that She was brought forth before the physical creation, and
She also assisted in the generative process, alongside Yahweh. "Yahweh
created Me, first-fruits of His fashioning, before the oldest of His
works. From everlasting I was firmly set – from the beginning, before
the earth came into being. The deep was not when I was born, nor were
the springs with their abounding waters. Before the mountains were
settled, before the hills, I came to birth; before He had made the
earth, the countryside, and the first elements of the world. When He
fixed the heavens firm, I was there; when He drew a circle on the
surfaces of the deep, when He thickened the clouds above, when the
sources of the deep began to swell, when He assigned the sea its
boundaries (and the waters will not encroach on the shore), when He
traced the foundations of the earth. I was beside the Master Craftsman,
delighting Him day after day, ever at play in His presence, to play
everywhere on His earth, delighting to be with the children of men.”
[Proverbs 8:22-31]
The Bible makes numerous references to the
Goddess. It instructs us to praise and worship Her; to offer prayer to
Her. "I am one who calls on Goddess and expects an answer.” [Job 12:4]
"Then Shaddai will be all your delight, and you shall lift your face to Eloah. You will pray and She will hear.” [Job 22:26-27]
