God is known by two names in the Old Testament — Elohim and Jehovah. The former is usually translated as “God” and the latter as “Lord,” often in small caps. Let’s look briefly at the God named Elohim (see the Jehovah parchment for a discussion of Jehovah).
In the Hebrew version of Genesis 1, God’s name is written as Elohim. Apparently Elohim is a variant of the ancient Semitic name for the chief god of neighboring cultures. Among the Hittites to the north and the Phoenicians to the west, the chief god was named El; among the Assyrians and Babylonians to the southeast, he was named Ilu; and among the Arabs to the south, he was named Il or Ilum.
Interestingly, El is often depicted as a bull ... which brings to mind the Hebrew fascination for bulls. We have, for example, Aaron’s golden calf (Exodus 32:1-6, 24, 35) and Zedekiah’s portayal of God as an iron-horned bull (1 Kings 22:11).
