Elohim lo tkalel is supported by both targum and the parallelism. If you have similarly strong evidence for another usage, great! | |

| Dec 20, 2017 at 4:42 | comment | added | mevaqesh | @ezra does it mean powers? In the singular it can mean power, but in the plural is it ever clearly used to mean powers? | |
| Dec 20, 2017 at 1:03 | comment | added | ezra | The Hebrew word אֱלֹהִים literally means "powers". This of course is not how the Name should be understood when referring to G-d but I thought I might add that to your answer. | |
