Using notarikon, eloah [[אלוה]] means is singular for 'God [[אל]] discerned by, or made clear by [[ו]] ignorance [[ה]]. How can ignorance help us to discern God?

:The ignorance of men, bickering over this or that, drives people crazy to the point that they cry out "It is not supposed to be this way!" By doing so, they are declaring that there is a God whose way it is supposed to be. In ignorance they sin, but he extends mercy. His mercy reveals him as God.

The ignorance of men causes a cacophony of confusion. In contrast, we know that there is a God who is rational and causes peace. <ref>[[Ge 41:8]] And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled; and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all the wise men thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dream; but [there was] none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh.</ref> <ref>[[Ge 41:16]] And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, [It is] not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.</ref> It is foolish to call a man or idol 'God', or to follow your own council of good and evil; 'eloah'. Eloah says that such a declaration; that the man (yourself) or idol is a God, is totally foolish and made plain by the ignorance of the claim. It is a god for the foolish.
