Of course, I was only joking.I mean in the Greek of the OT.
That is entirely irrelevant to Sarna's point, but your ability to count is noted.
The divine name in the OP is only listed 5 times when I searched.
Gen 17:1
Gen 35:11
Gen 48:3
Ezek 10:5
Jb 13:3.
It seems like your source is focusing on just Shin-dalet-yud which is very different from the two word title. Omitting Aleph-lamed (E-l) would does not describe "All mighty" G-d.
I actually had help with the counting.That is entirely irrelevant to Sarna's point, but your ability to count is noted.
No.
It's all about kindness.
Yes, thru the multiplicity of nature.
I reassert, no. The first part of name is divine kindess, the second part divine might. One who is infinitely kind and infinitely mighty is truly All-mighty.
Question, do you have a source for your derivation which equates E-l with might?
@firedragon and others..
The singular of Elo-him is not E-l. It's E-loah. It's in Tanach 49 times.
Examples:
Psalms 18:31
Psalms 50:22
Psalms 114:7
Proverbs 30:5
This thread is about the word Shaddai.
And how it is not related to Omnipotence.
FWIW ...
Wikipedia: Elohim is worth reading, particularly
Also worth reading is Wikipedia: El (deity).
- Grammar and etymology (and, in my opinion),
- Other plural-singulars in biblical-Hebrew
Finally, I really like Joel S. Burnett's A Reassessment of Biblical Elohim, where he describes 'elohim as an example of what he calls a concretized abstract plural (the plural-singulars addressed in the Wikipedia entry referenced above).
<ignore-list>Nah. Cannot stop. And yes. Seriously.
<ignore-list>
so be it

You are wrong.
No you are wrong.
You are absolutely wrong.
Source you want brother? Read Sanhedrin page 481. Or read The Jerusalem Talmud by Guggenheimer, page 254.
Cheers.
Regarding the Talmud citations, I can certainly look those up, but, I need them listed as Tractate and folio. I'll lookup Sanhedrin 481, but if it's a page# and not a folio then it probably won't match up with what I have here. Same problem with the Jerusalem Talmud reference. Most kindly, I need a Tractate and folio to review it.
In the meantime, I'll find sources to back up my claim that E-l is not divine might.
Bro, come on. That's a rude assumption. I have read a lot on this subject matter.At least read some book prior to making this kind of claim.
Ok, I see the screenshot, I don't have that version. I have the artscroll JT. I'd like to see if they associate E-l with Chesed. And I need the folio for that.Read. The Jerusalem talmud Neziqin the Sanhedrin chapter 7 by Heinrich W. Guggenheimer Page 254.
