             home, batim; homes). Due to this suffix in
             the noun Elohim, some Christians have thought
             that the name of God here is a plural form and they have claimed
             that, according to the Torah, the Israelites also believed in the

             Trinity. However, there are several words in Hebrew that end
             with the suffix -im but still express a singular form: these include
             Panim; face, Shamayim; sky or skies, Rahamim; mercy or compas-
             sion, Mayim; water and, Pnim; interior, and many others. The
             idea that the Torah therefore contains the concept of the Trinity
             is based on ignorance.
                 In any case, in Hebrew the verb changes according to
             whether the subject is singular or plural. It is therefore easy to
             tell if a sentence refers to a single person or more than one by
             looking at the verb. If the word Elohim were plural, as some
             Christians maintain, then the Hebrew should read "Vayomru
             Elohim" (the gods said). But on every occasion the Torah reads
             "Vayomer Elohim" (God said).
