Elohiym means: "God of the living," derived from the ancient Aramaic. People in heaven are elohiym, meaning" "gods of the living". The translation could also say, "God of the living ones". "God of the living" is a short form.
Our New Testament is not in Aramaic or Hebrew, but a person can find proof here: Psalm 45:6 Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
And here: Psalm 82:6
“I said, ‘You are “gods”; you are all sons of the Most High.’
Christ spoke in Hebrew:
John 10:34
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “gods”’? 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world?
