摘要

The present paper analyses the study of the grammatical and lexical features of God's generic name contained in the classic Jewish compendia which were authored by Abraham ben Daud Halevi, Judah Halevi, Maimonides and Joseph Albo in the Middle Ages and which were comprehensive presentations of the Jewish tradition devised as instruments for cultivating the Jewish identity. In the Hebrew Bible אלוה and אלוהים could denote not only true or false God(s) but also different human or angelic agents of power such as judges, leaders, nobles, the mighty or angels, depending on the context.
