The former is Aramaic, but the latter is surely Hebrew. The Aramaic, if not êlî, might be elahî, but not elohî. So I think the author you quote here is simply confused. And, although it would be unusual, I will have to assume that the NET Bible editors and the guy from Emory were similarly confused - at least unless they can offer more than a bare assertion of what seems on the face of it to be an obvious untruth. Of course their common confusion is not coincidental, as sadly one untruth can very easily be copied from person to person in this field with no one bothering to think about the truth of the matter.
