For nearly one hundred years now, Latter-day Saints have understood and more or less used elohim as "the name-title of God the Eternal Father." Yet historically they have not always used the term inthis strict sense. In the nineteenth century, Latter-day Saint literature employed elohim in a wider range of meanings than today, some of which might seem foreign to contemporary ears. Even more remarkable is that early Latter-day Saint usage of the term mirrors in many respects its usage in the Hebrew Bible. In this essay we explore how elohim is uded in the Hebrew Bible and sample how the early Latter-day Saints used the term.
