Elim as Glorious Ones

In Exodus 15:11, we read, “Who is like you, O LORD, among the gods? Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders?” This declaration of praise by Moses and the Israelites following their deliverance at the Red Sea emphasizes the incomparable nature of the Lord. The Hebrew word translated as 'gods' here is 'elim,' a plural form that speaks to a category of powerful, supernatural beings. The question is rhetorical, proclaiming that no entity, however exalted, can rival the Lord's supreme power, holiness, and miraculous works.
