 Ihoh is conspicuously absent from the first chapter of the book of Genesis.
-Ihoh's first appearance is in Genesis chapter 2, but only in a rather offhand reference where he is retroactively  credited as one of the [[Elohim]] who was involved in the events of chapter one. This narrative will be explored further within the [[Genesis 2]] commentary.

+Please note - Many Biblical scholars claim that The name of Ihoh (or as they say it "Yahweh") does not appear in the book of Genesis. They will point out that in the book of Exodus, Ihoh first reveals his name to Moses, and states "I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as 'El-Shaddai' but by my name Ihoh I did not make myself known to them". These same scholars rely on inventing three fictional sources from which the earlier texts "must have been copied", which use different names for "the same god". This concept flies in the face of the internally consistent etymology withing the ancient Hebrew texts, while completely ignoring the plurality of the [[Alehim]], the [[Semim]] and other character groups.

-Ihoh is often described as being one of the [[alehim]], and sometimes described as a [[semim]]. In fact, the texts suggests that Ihoh is one character within a type of social structure that is explored further at [[semim|Semim Hierarchy]]

+===Ihoh of the Alehim===
 One would be hard pressed to deny the statement that [[Ihoh]] is the main character of the Hebrew textual corpus. As such, there is abundant textual evidence around his characteristics and nature. One such fact is that [[Ihoh]] is a member of the [[alehim]]. This is validated by over 250 references linking Ihoh and the Alehim, including eleven instances in Genesis 2, seven in Genesis 3, and many many more which will be examined here.

 ====Ihoh's Role in Relation to the Hyberi====
-The ancient Hebrew people considered Ihoh their "lord". At least, some of the Hebrew people did, at least some of the time.
+The ancient [[Hyberi]](Hebrew) people considered Ihoh their "lord". At least, some of the Hebrew people did, at least some of the time.
+According to the Hebrew texts, Ihoh was not the original 'god' of the story.
+Ihoh is presented in the text as interacting with only three individuals between Adam and Abraham; namely Cain, Noah, and Nimrod. Therefore it is possible that the [[ihodit]] or followers of Ihoh as a group was not established until the practice was introduced by Esau's wife [[ihodit|Judith]]
+Even then, the worship of Ihoh did not become immediately ubiquitous. Many centuries later, in Exodus 2, Ihoh reveals his name to Moses, along with an interesting statement. He tells Moses “I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as 'El-Shaddai' but by my name Ihoh I did not make myself known to them". This statement is further reinforced in Joshua 24:2, where Joshua speaks to the people of Israel and recounts God's words about their ancestors who worshiped other gods. Typically Joshua's speech is translated as "//Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: Long ago, your ancestors—Terah and his sons Abraham and Nahor—lived beyond the Euphrates River and served other gods.//"
+The Hebrew words are clear here: it is Ihoh speaking. Ihoh says that Terah, Abraham and Nahor lived in Sumeria and worshipped "[[alehim aherim]]" (ostensibly meaning "other gods"). [[Alehim aherim]] is the exact same phrase used in "the ten commandments" in Exodus 20:4, typically translated as "//You shall have no other gods before me.//"

+====Misconceptions About Ihoh====
 Many misconceptions about Ihoh have somehow or another become embedded into Christian theology over many hundreds of years, to the degree that it has become commonplace to teach certain doctrinal aspects as though they were based in the Hebrew scriptures, despite the fact that the Hebrew texts do not actually support such conclusions.
 Ihoh (under the names Yahweh, Jehovah, or God) is typically conceived of as being the eternal, invisible, immortal, all powerful creator of the universe.

 ==Eternal==
 The concept of Ihoh's eternal nature is based on the word [[yolem]] being mistranslated as "eternal" rather than "beyond". There is no Hebrew word that means "eternal" or "eternity". Ihoh is associated with "beyond". FIXME references please

+The Hebrew scriptures do not address the question of the creation of the universe, planet earth, or anything else really, other than the creation of a culture.
+Genesis 1 is not about a creation event. Even if it was, Ihoh was not present at the event according to the narrative presented in Genesis 1.
