Extends the new monotheistic conception of the Jewish people. Scribes realize that in his books there are things that go against this new view (eg IAHV fight with other gods), this requires introducing many touches that show that this "old" and was IAHV One God. One of these additions is the new story of the creation of the world in Genesis 1 attempts to wipe out the vision of these worldviews (Assyrian and Babylonian) in which there is a set of gods. Of Genesis 2 and up have the old view (influenced by the Assyrians and Babylonians):
"God said, Let us make man in our image and likeness"
Genesis 1, 26
In this passage we see that it speaks in the plural. Then they say that it is a plural of majesty, but then why other interventions in the singular? The Christian conception is justified by saying that a representation the holy trinity in the background is only one God (is a forced explanation yet.)
The word is "Elohim" which can only be plural and means "gods." What they do is put as if it were the proper name of a singular God (Elohim created ...) This will get rid of the problem of polytheism, or rather the problem of the variety of gods, polytheism did not really exist, there various gods who served for many things, there was no defined grid gods.
then would a god (called "gods") who created the world, but one God. This is in addition to linguistic manipulation to every picture. The plural is singular.
Another problem is that they could not do without the overnight in the name of Yahweh. Had to do was see that Elohim IAHV, for that they do is attach the two names: IAHV Elohim, translated by IAHV God. This occurs in several parts of the Old Testament.
In the Old Testament there are several parties indicate that IAHV chose the Jewish people and other gods have other peoples. This old version, for monotheistic was very embarrassing. However, these parts are modified in the Hebrew Bible. In many parts of the Christian Bible will suffer a third modification. This avoids the problem, but often lose the sense of the text.
In Genesis 6 is that the gods are seductive women and sleep with them, having children, hence leaving the "sons of the gods." The gods have created men and then lie with women. This is changed to "the sons of God" and problem solved. Remove the old idea that men and gods come together (this was how Greek heroes emerged, for example). The offspring alleged that a union would be monstrous, for it then comes the myth of the flood, did not want to eliminate evil, but these anomalies. Monotheism to fix this took away the figure of God, there is no direct contact. We introduce an ontological difference where God is unlike anything else.
scribes There are different collections, the canonical version is only a version that did not close until the second century BC There are various texts, there is no Judaism in capital letters, there are several traditions, there is a "religion "until you close the canon in the second century BC
At this time the Jews are living in a Hellenized world, many of them have even forgotten their language and therefore are scribes who translated the scriptures into Greek. With these new translations IAHV name is disappearing and being replaced by God or "the Lord" (ho theos).
Ho Theos in Aristotle is the unmoved mover that moves all things. The Presocratics initially sought to explain the plurality, all would be explained by a simple principle. If all that exists is understandable and explainable by a single principle, that principle should not belong to the whole, has to be external. All this will be very useful to "The church fathers."
