אלוה

'aloh' is a relatively rare word, first appearing near the end of Deuteronomy. There are a sprinkling of instances in the History books and Prophets, and several in the Psalms, but by far most of its occurrences are in the book of Job, accounting for 41 of the total 58 instances. This fact may or may not be significant but could possibly indicate a relatively rare word variant employed primarily by two authors. Thus it is reasonable to postulate that 'aloh' might be an alternate spelling of aleh

Under this spelling, the word occurs 59 times. Fifty of these are traditionally rendered “God” with a capital G, and presumed to represent the monotheistic all-powerful creator-god that was supposedly worshipped by the yeberim and whom has become the Father-God of modern Christianity.

However, there are instances where this is not the case, and instead, the same word 'aloh' is translated as a “little g” god, worshipped by foreigners.¹⁾
