Strong's Lexicon el: God, mighty one Original Word: אֵל Part of Speech: pronoun plural masculine and feminine Transliteration: el Pronunciation: āl Phonetic Spelling: (ale) Definition: God, mighty one Meaning: these, those Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to be strong" or "to be powerful." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2316 (Theos): The Greek equivalent for "God," used throughout the New Testament to refer to the God of Israel. - G1411 (Dynamis): Often translated as "power" or "mighty," reflecting the aspect of strength associated with "El." Usage: The term "El" is a generic term for "god" or "deity" in the Hebrew Bible. It is often used to refer to the God of Israel, emphasizing His might and power. In some contexts, it can also refer to false gods or deities of other nations. The word is frequently used in compound names for God, such as "El Shaddai" (God Almighty) and "El Elyon" (God Most High). Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, "El" was a common term for deity and was used in various cultures, including the Canaanites, where El was considered the chief god. In the Hebrew Bible, the use of "El" underscores the monotheistic belief in the one true God who is powerful and sovereign over all creation. The Israelites distinguished their God, Yahweh, from the gods of surrounding nations by emphasizing His unique attributes and covenant relationship with His people.
