god´es (אלהים, ’ĕlōhı̄m, θεά, theá): There is no separate word for “goddess” in the Old Testament. In the only instance in which the word occurs in English Versions of the Bible ([1Ki 11:5], [1Ki 11:33]), the gender is determined by the noun - “Ashtoreth, the god (goddess) of the Sidonians.” In the New Testament the term is applied to Diana of Ephesus ([Act 19:27], [Act 19:35], [Act 19:37]).
