El Shaddai (אֵל שַׁדָּ֥י, el shadday). One of the names applied to Yahweh in the Old Testament (Gen 17:1; 28:3; 35:11; 43:14; 48:3; Exod 6:3). The name El Shaddai appears mainly in the book of Genesis. In Exodus 6:3, Yahweh says El Shaddai was the name by which He was known to the patriarchs. Ezekiel uses the name once (Ezek 10:5). The label “Shaddai” alone is used more frequently as a name for God. The meaning of shaddai is uncertain. El Shaddai is traditionally translated as “God Almighty.” For further information, see this article: Names of God in the Old Testament.
