El Shaddai El Shaddai (Hebrew: אֵל שַׁדַּי‎ ‎ , ] ) or just Shaddai is one of the names of the God of Israel. "El Shaddai" is conventionally translated as God Almighty but the construction of the phrase fits the pattern of the divine appellations in the Ancient Near East and as such can convey various types of semantic relations between these two words: El of a place known as Shaddai, El possessing the quality of "shaddai" or El who is also known as Shaddai – exactly as is the case with the names like "’El Olam", "’El Elyon" or "’El Betel". Moreover, while the translation of "El" as "god" or "lord" in the Ugaritic/Canaanite language is straightforward, the literal meaning of "Shaddai" is the subject of debate.
