THE NOUN ELOHIM APPLIED TO TWO INDIVISIBLE PERSONS

The plural noun Elohim is also seen to include two different personalities in the same passage. There is one example found in Hosea 1:7:

But I will accept the House of Judah. And I will give them victory through the LORD their God; I will not give them victory with bow and sword and battle, by horses and riders.⁵⁷

In verses 4-6 God is speaking. He is still speaking in verse 7. In this passage, the speaker is Elohim who says He will extend compassion and deliverance by the instrumentality of the LORD their Elohim. Elohim #1 will deliver Israel by means of Elohim #2.
