The Corporeal Nature of the Elohim

There are references to the Elohim in nine different languages that were around about the same time that the early Hebrews wrote about them in the Torah – Akkadian, Canaanite (same as Phoenician), Sumerian, Sanskrit, Amorite, Egyptian, etc. - all of which have words for the Elohim or singular El or Eloha. In Sumerian texts of cuneiform these beings were described using four names, including Anunnaki as well as Elohim. These references all go to demonstrate that the Elohim were discussed among many early peoples long before their stories show up in the Torah, long before the Elohim came and devastated the Essenes, killed half the members of the twelve tribes, driving the rest up along the Red Sea to Judea from which the myth of the Exodus is derived – written by the Pharisees, and not the Jews themselves in the Torah.

There are many descriptions on how one is to deal with the Elohim. This extended all the way over to Egypt where it was acknowledged that the Elohim were ruling them and how they were supposed to conduct themselves in their presence. Among the procedures across cultures was dealing with the waste and urine that came from these beings. Such excretions and fluids were to be collected and stored in a very detailed specific manner – in lead-glazed ceramic vessels to shield it in some way. It appears that the Elohim were particularly paranoid about their concern for what might become of the “night soil” that came out of their bodies because it provided like an anchor for a psychic attack. An enemy could use the DNA that may have passed from their bodies in a very accurate way in an attack. The humans that served them were then specifically directed to reincorporate this waste into the soil according to specific ritual. Given such evidence, we know the Elohim were corporeal.

The Elohim and Anunnaki apparently liked to get drunk, in which they would produce copious amounts of urine that human servants had to collect and process through ritual. One of the taverns in the stories was in the Assyrian capital Nineveh which gets a bad rap in the Bible because it was one of the first cities to expel the Pharisees for ritual sacrifice and for stealing and eating children. (The Pharisees and their sacrificial worship of the space alien Elohim are a precursor to the Elohim worship cult of Judaism.)

Worship of the Elohim was not universal. Not everyone saw them as gods. The Akkadians did not see them they way the Abrahamic religions have come to treat them. They were likely a bit paranoid about them because the Elohim could kill anyone at any time for any reason, and humans were pretty much impervious to fight back. The Elohim could be entirely capricious, yet there was no recourse to address that. It was just the state of the world that everyone lived in at that time.
