摘要

希伯来语单词ᵓĕlīlim通常被解释为希伯来语形容词的复数ᵓĕlīl（“无用，虚荣”），因此是一种描述偶像的委婉语。然而，古代版本并没有这样理解这个词。更可信的是，这个词是阿卡德语illilu的借词，本身就是苏美尔语的借词。最早的证明ᵓ希伯来语中的ĕlīlim经常出现在以赛亚书中，作为代码转换的一部分，以表示单词本身的外来性。

What are ʾElilim?

The Hebrew word ᵓĕlīlim is usually explained as the plural of the Hebrew adjective ᵓĕlīl (“useless, vain”), hence a dysphemism describing idols. However, the ancient versions did not understand the word this way. The word more plausibly is a loanword from the Akkadian illilu, itself a borrowing from Sumerian. The earliest attestations of ᵓĕlīlim in Hebrew appear in Isaiah often as part of code-switching to signal the foreignness of the word itself.
