Psalm 82 speaks of the Jews as gods, and that they would surely lose that blessing if they did not help the weak, the fatherless, the afflicted, the oppressed; we are taught the TRUE MEANING of Scripture by Jesus; he and his Spirit open Scriptures to us to know them, and Jesus speaks definitively of this Psalm so that you will never think such a thing that it is speaking of false gods in some assembly.
Jesus opens the Scripture this way, in the 10th chapter of John
Jesus replied, “Is it not written in your Law: ‘I have said you are gods’?
If he called them gods to whom the word of God came — and the Scripture cannot be broken — then what about the One whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world? How then can you accuse Me of blasphemy for stating that I am the Son of God?"
If the Word of God comes to someone, the LORD regards that one as a god, as in His Own Likeness.
Perhaps we have lost it, perhaps we do not help the weak, the fatherless, the afflicted, the oppressed, and now we are not knowing that we are gods and brethren of the Son of God…
I would stay away from Hebrew words unless I were fluent in that language and its usages.
A translator (expert) knows when Elohim is referring to God or gods and knows different words that refer to idols or false gods, and knows that in all cases whenever God or the LORD is seen in the Old Testament it is actually the Angel of the LORD who is seen - whoever sees the LORD’s representative sees the LORD; whoever hears the LORD’s representative hears the LORD; whoever talks with the LORD’s representative is talking with the LORD.
