Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 5310: ὕψιστος (hypsistos), meaning "highest" or "most high," often used in the New Testament to refer to God in a similar manner as עֶלְיוֹן in the Old Testament. Usage: In the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, עֶלְיוֹן is used to describe God as the Supreme Being, emphasizing His sovereignty and exalted status above all other gods and powers. Context: The term עֶלְיוֹן (Elyon) is a significant title for God, highlighting His supreme authority and majesty. It is used in the context of God's dominion and power, often in contrast to earthly rulers or other deities. In the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel, עֶלְיוֹן is employed to affirm God's ultimate control over the kingdoms of the world and His ability to establish and depose kings according to His will. This title underscores the belief in God's unparalleled greatness and His role as the sovereign ruler of the universe. For example, in Daniel 7:18 (BSB), the term is used to describe the saints of the Most High receiving the kingdom: "But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess it forever—yes, forever and ever." This passage reflects the eschatological hope and assurance that God's supreme authority will ultimately prevail, granting His faithful followers eternal dominion.
