How to Tell if a Noun Refers to God or to the Gods?

In hebrew, ilohim can either refer to god or to the gods. You need a way to tell which is the case in a given passage. So how do we do that? By looking at the context. There will be clues in the context that tell you whether it's god or the gods that are under discussion. These will often be verbs and pronouns. The same thing happens in english. You can look at the verbs and the pronouns around a noun to figure out if it's referring to one thing or more than one thing. And we have lots of like that, ya, yo, hands, right. I wouldn't wear a pant. All right.
