Mighty Ones of the Name

elohe of Shem. Elohe (#430) is a plural form of el, (#410) mighty ones, gods, judges. By this definition it is properly understood “mighty ones of Shem” just as one would read “builders of Father-of-Tumult”. Compare with verse 27, tents of Shem. The word “of” is a provisional English word in all translations plugged in between two nouns next to each other. When two Hebrew nouns are found together it usually means the first is subject to the second.

This Hebrew preposition לְמוֹ lemo is used only in Gen 9:27 and Job 27:14,29:21,38:40. Said to be a “poetic” form. Similar to kemo, the-likeness-of-him.
