Not necessarily true, the word "Elohim" though plural in form is not always used in the Hebrew scriptures as plural (e.g Moses, some of the singular false g-ds). I would have to look it up but I did read somewhere mentioned that there are other examples of words that are plural in form but not necessarily plural in meaning however I would have to study this statement's accuracy further:Pastor Carl said:
In Biblical Hebrew, a noun that is plural in form is not necessarily plural in meaning - a fact most Messianic leaders realize, yet seem to ignore. For instance, the Hebrew words chayim (chayeem, "life") [2] and panim (paneem, "face", "presence", "countenance") [3] are plural in form, but almost always singular in meaning. Another word, adon, "lord", "master", [4] is often plural in form. In its plural form it is sometimes used of a single person - Abraham (Gen. 24:9-10), Joseph (Gen. 42:30,33), the king of Egypt (Gen. 40:1) and an anonymous "fierce king" under whose rule the Egyptians were prophesied to come (Isa. 19:4, NRSV). There are instances of other plural Hebrew words employed in the Hebrew Bible with singular meaning.
