Strong's Lexicon El Elohe Yisrael: God, the God of Israel Original Word: אֵל אֱלהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל Word Origin: Derived from אֵל (El, meaning "God") and אֱלֹהִים (Elohim, meaning "God" or "gods"), combined with יִשְׂרָאֵל (Yisrael, meaning "Israel"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "El Elohe Yisrael," the concept of God as the God of Israel is reflected in the New Testament through terms like θεός (Theos, Strong's Greek 2316) and κύριος (Kyrios, Strong's Greek 2962), which are used to denote the God of Israel and His lordship. Usage: The phrase "El Elohe Yisrael" is a compound name for God, emphasizing His unique relationship with the nation of Israel. It signifies God as the mighty and sovereign deity who is specifically the God of the patriarch Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. This name underscores God's covenantal relationship with Israel and His role as their protector and provider. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names of deities often reflected their attributes and relationships with their worshippers. The use of "El" and "Elohim" in this compound name highlights God's supreme power and authority. The addition of "Yisrael" personalizes this power, linking it directly to the descendants of Jacob. This name is a testament to the monotheistic faith of the Israelites in a polytheistic world, affirming their belief in one true God who is actively involved in their history and destiny.
