Can The Word Elohim Refer to a Person?
Can The Word Elohim(אלוהים) Refer to a Person?
In Exodus, this is said, "And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god(Elohim(אֱלֹהִ֖ים)) to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet," (Exodus 7:1 KJV). In this verse, God claims Moses is as an Elohim to Pharaoh, so the answer would be yes it can. Yet, this is a rare event.
