It should be noted that it overwhelmingly refers to god/s.
God (2,346x), god (244x), judge (5x), GOD (1x), goddess (2x), great (2x), mighty (2x), angels (1x), exceeding (1x), God-ward (with H4136) (1x), godly (1x).
And Genesis 3:5 is normally translated:
quote:
For God (elohiym) doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods (elohiym), knowing good and evil.
Since there were no human Judges, it must refer to celestial beings/divine ones even if we don't suppose its true godhood. And its only 'as' gods, not actually gods. It's just that the only things that know good and evil at this point in the story are the divine beings (god, possibly his wife and the angels (including Satan)).
