(ח) בְּהַנְחֵ֤ל עֶלְיוֹן֙ גּוֹיִ֔ם בְּהַפְרִיד֖וֹ בְּנֵ֣י אָדָ֑ם יַצֵּב֙ גְּבֻלֹ֣ת עַמִּ֔ים לְמִסְפַּ֖ר בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ (ט) כִּ֛י חֵ֥לֶק יְהֹוָ֖ה עַמּ֑וֹ יַעֲקֹ֖ב חֶ֥בֶל נַחֲלָתֽוֹ׃

(1) ...ELOHIM stands in the assembly; among the ELOHIM He pronounces judgment:
(2) How long will you judge perversely, showing favor to the wicked?...
(3) Judge the wretched and the orphan, vindicate the lowly and the poor, (4) rescue the wretched and the needy; save them from the hand of the wicked. (5) They neither know nor understand, they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth [crumble]. (6) I had taken you for ELOHIM, sons of EL ELYON, all of you; (7) but you shall die as men do, fall like any prince.
(8) Arise, ELOHIM, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your possession.
(12) For that night I will go through the land of Egypt and strike down every first-born in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and I will mete out punishments to all the gods of Egypt, I, YHWH.
(4) The Egyptians meanwhile were burying those among them whom YHWH had struck down, every first-born—whereby YHWH executed judgment on their gods.
(ב) וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֑ה וַיֹּ֥אמֶר אֵלָ֖יו אֲנִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ (ג) וָאֵרָ֗א אֶל־אַבְרָהָ֛ם אֶל־יִצְחָ֥ק וְאֶֽל־יַעֲקֹ֖ב בְּאֵ֣ל שַׁדָּ֑י וּשְׁמִ֣י יְהוָ֔ה לֹ֥א נוֹדַ֖עְתִּי לָהֶֽם׃
(2) God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am the LORD. (3) I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai, but I did not make Myself known to them by My name YAHWEH.
EL and YHWH are now the same God. But is it Monotheism?
(4) Listen Israel! YHWH is our God, the LORD is one.
(לה) אַתָּה֙ הָרְאֵ֣תָ לָדַ֔עַת כִּ֥י יְהוָ֖ה ה֣וּא הָאֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ין ע֖וֹד מִלְבַדּֽוֹ׃
(35) It has been clearly demonstrated to you that YHWH alone is God; there are none but Him.
(6) Thus said YHWH, the King of Israel, Their Redeemer, the YHWH of Armies: I am the first and I am the last, And there is no god but Me.
(9) There he went into a cave, and there he spent the night. Then the word of the YHWH came to him. He said to him, “Why are you here, Elijah?” (10) He replied, “I am moved by zeal for the YHWH, the God of Hosts, for the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and put Your prophets to the sword. I alone am left, and they are out to take my life.” (11) “Come out,” He called, “and stand on the mountain before the YHWH.” And lo, YHWH passed by.
There was a great and mighty wind, splitting mountains and shattering rocks by the power of YHWH but YHWH was not in the wind.
After the wind—an earthquake; but YHWH was not in the earthquake.
(12) After the earthquake—fire; but YHWH was not in the fire.
And after the fire—a soft murmuring sound.
(13) When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his mantle about his face and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then a voice addressed him: “Why are you here, Elijah?” (14) He answered, “I am moved by zeal for the LORD, the God of Hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and have put Your prophets to the sword. I alone am left, and they are out to take my life.” (15) The LORD said to him, “Go back by the way you came, [and] on to the wilderness of Damascus. When you get there, anoint Hazael as king of Aram. (16) Also anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king of Israel, and anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah to succeed you as prophet. (17) Whoever escapes the sword of Hazael shall be slain by Jehu, and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu shall be slain by Elisha. (18) I will leave in Israel only seven thousand—every knee that has not knelt to Baal and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
