אֵל²: pr.pl.m. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1488/411/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** pr.pl.m. & f. = the more usual אֵלָּה, these 1 Ch 20:8; with art. הָאֵל Gn 19:8, 25; 26:3, 4 Lv 18:27 Dt 4:42; 7:22; 19:11. (Merely an orthogr. variation of אֵלָּה, and doubtless pronounced similarly; the kindred dialects have in genl. a dissyllabic form: v. sub אֵלֶּה. Written similarly in Ph., e.g. CIS 3:22; 14:5; 93:3 (האל), but ZMG1875, 240 (Neo-Punic) אלא; in Plaut. Poen. v. 1. 9 transliterated ily; Schroed.Ph. Gr. p. 81, 160, 286 ff.)

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech not compared, 9 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (26 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech not compared, 1 words shared with the BDB entry, 1 with the glosses (20 candidates)
