'Elohim', the name for the creative power in Genesis, is a female plural, a fact that generations of learned rabbis and Christian theologians have all explained as merely grammatical convention. The King James and most other Bibles translate it as "God," but if you take the grammar literally, it seems to mean 'goddesses'. Al Shaddai, god of battles, appears later, and YHWH, mispronounced Jehovah, later still.
