Genesis 17:1-2, “And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.”
The word before means “in front of, or in the presences of” (Webster’s 1828). God was calling Abraham to a personal relationship with Himself. He wanted Abraham to live in His very presence.
In Hebrew/Jewish literature the Rabbis and Sages teach that this verse should read
Walk WITH Me.
This is interesting because we are to understand that only after the fullness of 99 years, Abraham was finally invited to Walk WITH YHVH/Yahoveh/God as we are informed in Genesis that Enoch did also.
And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. Amplified Bible And [in reverent fear and obedience] Enoch walked with God; and he was not [found among men], because God took him. Genesis 5:24
Was Abraham able to do this because He understood that YHVH/God was El Shaddai, the Almighty or all sufficient God/YHVH? The rabbis and sages further say that 90 is the number of humility and 9 is the number of completion. So this infers that when Abraham was 99, he became complete (9) in humility(90) and recognized that YHVH/Yahoveh/God was truly El Shaddai – all sufficient, only then he could walk WITH Yahoveh/ YHVH/ God.
Humility is defined as: not for one moment trusting in self, in the arm of the flesh or in all securities we have built up; but having complete and total trust in our Heavenly Father God/El Shaddai, to be all sufficient for us.
אל שדי (el shaddai) the almighty
Genesis 17:1 HEB: אֲנִי־ אֵ֣ל שַׁדַּ֔י הִתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ לְפָנַ֖י NAS: to him, I am God Almighty; Walk KJV: and said unto him, I [am] the Almighty God;
And when Abram was ninety nine years old and the LORD appeared to Abram, and he said to him, I am El Shaddai, walk before me, and be perfect Genesis 17:1
7706 Shadday: Almighty
Original Word:שַׁדַּי Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: Shadday Phonetic Spelling:shad-dah’-ee
In the previous post we looked at the meaning of the word
אל el,
as found in אל שדי (el shaddai),
and the word שדי (shaddai).
Most Bible translations translate this word as Almighty.
Many times a translator will not, or is reluctant to, translate a Hebrew word literally;
Why?
Because the literal meaning would not make sense to the Western mind and in some cases could or would actually offend them.
This is the case with the word שדי (shaddai).
The use of the word “Almighty” by the translator is their attempt at translating the text in a manner that will both make sense to the Western reader as well as to retain some of the meaning of the original Hebrew word.
Let’s take another look at this word.
The parent root for this word is שד (shad).
The original pictograph for this word is:
The (sh) is a picture of the two front teeth
and has the meaning of:
“sharp,” “press” (as from chewing)
as well as “two.”
Shin: His Heartbeat apparent in the fervent ardency and the intense, fiery, consuming, passionate power of His essence; A picture of His desire which is evident in; the works of His hand – the brought forth One – the author and finisher.
The picture is the two front teeth.
The whiteness of the teeth shine.
Picture: Teeth
Associations: Shine
Sound:sh
Ancient Name: Shin
Modern Name: Shin
Modern Form:ש
Meaning: Sharp, Press, Eat, Two.
The (d) is a picture of a tent door
with a meaning of
“hang” or “dangle” as:
the door is hung or dangles down from the top of the tent.
Dalet – Door, passageway –
Process of entering-in; according to the Instructions, through the ‘Promised’ Instructor!
Move, hang, entrance, open, path or way.
The entrance of the Hebrew’s tent was covered by a curtain suspended from a horizontal pole.
The picture of this letter represents the “door” of the tent.
Picture: Door
Associations: Door
Sound: d
Ancient Name: Dal
Modern Name: Dalet
Modern Form: ד
Meaning:Move, Hang, Entrance
The combined meanings of the
shin and dalet
could be two danglers.
The goat was a very common animal within the herds of the Hebrews. It produces milk within the udder and is extracted by the goat kid by squeezing and sucking on the two teats dangling below the udder.
The function of these teats is to provide all the necessary nourishment for the kids, as they would die without it.
The Hebrew word שדי (shaddai)
also has the meaning of a teat.
Just as the goat provides nourishment to its kids through the milk, God nourishes His children through His milk and providesall the necessities of life.
This imagery can be seen in the following passage:
“And I will come down to snatch them [Israel] from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up from that land to a good and wide land to a land flowing with milk and honey.” Exodus 3:8
The word שדי (teat) is often coupled with the word
אל (mighty, strong)
creating the phrase
אל שדי (el shaddai)
and literally meaning
the “mighty teat,”
hence we can see the translator’s reluctance to literally translate this phrase and instead using the more acceptable “God Almighty.”
It has also been termed as the Almighty breasty One.
The idea of God being characterized as having breasts/teats does not sit well in our Western culture. We are familiar with identifying with God as a father, but not as a mother.
The Hebrew word for
mother is אם (em)
or
in the ancient pictographic script.
The ox head
meaning strength
combined with the picture for water
forms the word meaning: strong water.
Animal’s hides were placed in a pot of boiling water.
As the hide boiled, a thick sticky substance formed at the surface of the water and was removed and used as glue, a binding liquid or “strong water.” The mother of the family is the “one who binds the family together.”
Our Heavenly Father God can be seen as the
“glue” that holds the whole universe together;
which is more than a figurative statement however it is also quite scientific. We know that all matter is made up of atoms, each atom consists of protons which have a positive charge and electrons which have a negative charge. The protons are packed together in the nucleus, which is the center of the atom, while the electrons orbit/surround the nucleus. Since each proton has a positive charge, each proton should repel the others causing the protons to fly apart, but for some unknown reason, they do not. This phenomenon is called nucleic bonding. Our Heavenly Father God literally binds the entire universe together. WOW!
In Genesis 1:27 we are told “male and female he created them.”
This passage states that man was created as male and female and also that man was created in the image of God. God has the characteristics of both male and female and these characteristics were put into His creation, male characteristics in men and the feminine characteristics were placed in women. When a man and a woman come together, they unite these characteristics as one, now a perfect ‘representation’ of God. AsGenesis 2:24 states and they shall become one flesh.
(In His image and likeness.)
God promised the nation of Israel that he would bring them into a “land flowing with milk and honey.”
God as the אל שדי (el shaddai), the mighty teat, will supply His children with His life sustaining milk.
A brief note highlighting some of the problems with Biblical translations.
There are many aspects that comprise a translation which are both unknown and unseen to the reader. Many people assume that the English translations of the Bible are all equal representations of the original text in which it was first written down. Due to the huge difference between both the ancient Hebrews language and culture compared to our own, an exact translation into our English language is impossible. The job of any translator is extremely difficult as they attempt to bridge the gap between both languages and cultures.
Because the Hebrew text can be translated various ways, sometimes the translator’s personal beliefs have an influence how the text is translated; then it becomes more of a interpretation of the original text based on the individuals own theology and doctrine.
Whoever reads this translation has no choice but to believe the translators understanding of the text and it then also becomes the readers’ foundation.
For this reason, readers will often compare translations, but are usually limited to Christian translations. And many do not have the resources or education to do the research themselves and just simply accept what is presented in the version they have available.
A wise recommendation for any student of His Word is to include a “Hebrew/Jewish” translation when comparing texts, as this will give a different and more authentic perspective. Of course it will be biased toward the Hebraic/Jewish faith, but then Christian translations are biased toward the Christian faith too; so being able to compare the two translations can certainly help to understand the different viewpoint each one contains. We miss so many hidden gems and pearls when we confine ourselves to just one translation…Hopefully these posts help to illuminate and explain some of the more obscure scriptures which because of language ambiguities can seem to be contradictions.
The aim and heart of these posts are not to offend any readers, nor to take the place of personal study and research. No one understands it all and we are all learning along the Way. Our relationship with our Heavenly Father is the most important aspect, drawing closer to Him through His Word and so; having even a small glimpse into Hebrew language/culture, albeit clumsy, hopefully reminds us how little we really know and then only with the help of His Spirit. As always be encouraged to study for yourself and forgive any errors in the text, the writer simply wants you to fall in love with His Word.
Here is one that we can ponder on..
Is God Inhabiting Holiness or Praises?
In Psalm 22:3 it is written:
and thou art holy sitting …the praise of Israel.
Youngs Literal Translation.
In KJV it reads
3But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
In other translations it reads as
enthroned
The word inhabit in Hebrew Strongs# 3427
is
יָשַׁב
YASHAV or Yashab
Phonetic Spelling: yaw-shab’
(recall the letters for v and b are interchangeable.)
Yashav means many things related to dwelling,
so, it could be sitting,
as used in Youngs translation,
or it could be
remaining, staying,
set in one place an abodeorestablishing.
Again, depending on the context where the word is used and is most applicable to what the original writer was trying to convey.
Here is a question.
Are our bodies the temple/sanctuary of God
or
are they the Yashav/yashab of God?
Many translations insert the word Temple
yet sanctuary is more appropriate.
Ephesians 2:21
Why?
Because the inner, holiest part of the temple complex was the place where YHVH/Gods’ shekinah presence dwelt.
(whereas naos denotes the central sanctuary itself) of the Temple (at Jerusalem or elsewhere) — temple.2411. hieron
3485naós (from naiō, “to dwell”) Phonetic Spelling: (nah-os’) Definition: a temple, a shrine,
that part of the temple where God himself resides.– properly, a sanctuary (divine dwelling-place);
a temple (sacred abode), the place of divine manifestation. 3485(naós) refers to the sanctuary (the Jewish Temple proper), i.e. with just its two inner compartments (rooms).
As His Spirit of Holiness is now imparted into our innermost being, then it would seem more likely that the holiest place would be just that, in our innermost being – the sanctuary of our hearts.
Something to think about…
Returning to yashav/yashab,
And some more questions..
Are we hoping Gods’ presence will somehow come
… when we praise Him?
Is it that we somehow think/believe we can entice Him to join us by praising Him?
Doesn’t this signify that He is not yet in the midst of us or that He is not indwelling each of us by His Spirit? Yet
Does He inhabit the praises of His people
or
does He inhabit His Holiness?
Or maybe it could read literally from the Hebrew as:
He the praise of His people?
A serious and more revealing question is:
what is the praise of our congregations?
What are we as a body of believers lifting up?
Is it the leadership, the building?
The number of those attending, is it the denomination and it doctrines and beliefs?
Then we must ask… what is the individuals focus in praise?
Is it our family, job, career, house car etc etc?…
because what we praise
and give our allegiance to and focus on is what our priority is.
All we have to do is listen to conversations all around us, because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. What’s in there in abundance will come out of our mouths in conversation.
The Lord is Holy and we are to let no unholy thing come out of our mouth.
1Peter 1:15 be holy in all manner of communication.
Kadesh – holy means:
to be separate and sacred.
The One we are to be in intimate communication with, is Our Heavenly Father and in that intimate relationship, we are drawn to Him Who, Jesus/Yeshua and His Spirit of Holiness always point us to;
and when He dwells within us,
He becomes our praise.
The word for praise here is
HALAL which means: to SHINE.
When we say Hallelujah, we are saying:
God SHINE in us let the world see You not us.
God already inhabits His people so
He obviously inhabits the praises that come forth from them.
God is our praise and He dwells in us, there’s no treasure anywhere that can even come close to who He is;
2Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Our treasure is that holy spirit within our “earthen vessels”. Earthen vessels are jars or containers made of clay. Jar of clay or earthen vessel is a figurative description of the human body as formed of clay (Gen. 2:7; 3:17)
and it should cause us to be continually praising Him, which in turn will give no room to be praising anything else.
As Yeshua/Jesus said, if people are forbidden to shout praises theThe very stones will cry out..
Let it be our aim to
walk with Him
and to let the
el shaddai who
(yashab) inhabits us
as His sanctuary here on earth;
inspire the praises that issue forth from our lips
by His indwelling Spirit of Holiness.
He is then inhabiting the Holiness of our praises!
Here I bow – live common gathering.
Shalom
friends and family!
Shavua Tov, Have a blessed week,
you are greatly loved and prayed for daily.
Please don’t leave here without assurance of your salvation
Not sure ..you can be…
Make certain Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer,
Savior, Lord, and soon returning King
and that you have a personal relationship with Him.
It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.
You are very precious in His sight.
SIMPLY SAY THE FOLLOWING MEANING IT FROM YOUR HEART..don’t delay one more minute, SAY IT RIGHT NOW…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.
I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name.
13 ‘The feast of booths thou dost make for thee seven days, in thine in-gathering of thy threshing-floor, and of thy wine-vat;
14 and thou hast rejoiced in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, וְהַלֵּוִ֗י levivy and the sojourner hag ger וְהַגֵּ֛ר
and the fatherless, and the widow, who ‘are’ within thy gates.
15 Seven days thou dost feast before Jehovah thy God, in the place which Jehovah doth choose, for Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all thine increase, and in every work of thy hands, and thou hast been only rejoicing.
16 ‘Three times in a year doth every one of thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which He doth choose — in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Jehovah empty;
17 each according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God, which He hath given to thee.
A sukkah
is also called
סֻּכֹּֽת
a booth – a tabernacle – temporary dwelling,
depending on who you ask.
(There are several alternate spellings of the Hebrew word.)
It is only for 7 days and when it is described as a
temporary dwelling,
it’s because the
sukah/sukkah
construction itself is
temporary,
it is not a permanent structure.
For 7 days each year all who are native born in Israel
are to live in these sukkah
made of tree boughs branches and leaves.
The flimsy sukkah
is not really able to give much shelter from
the heat of the sun or the wind rain and dust;
nor does it provide privacy.
There’s no protection from criminal activities and by itself it’s totally ineffective for a long term dwelling place.
The point is that, for 40 years this is how the children of Israel lived as they travelled through the wilderness...
and it serves as a reminder to all subsequent generations, and the grafted-in-believers, how our Heavenly Father
protects and shelters His children
as we continue on our wilderness journey to His promised land..
We would opt for a more sturdy building of wood, brick and concrete with locks on our doors, if we were given a choice; yet is this any more permanent and reliable than a sukat/sukkah when the forces of nature are unleashed against it?
It only takes a moment, to look at the aftermath of deadly hurricanes and floods, for us to see the devastating results.
All who are native born ……sons of Israel.
Leviticus 23
40 and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days.
41 ‘And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year — a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast.
42 ‘In booths בַּסֻּכֹּֽת ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel / Yisrael יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
dwell in booths,
43 so that your generations do know that in booths בַּסֻּכֹּֽת
I caused the sons of Yisrael / Israel יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, ‘am’ your God.’
44 And Moses speaketh ‘concerning’ the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.
The sukkah reminds us
that our faith/trust should
NOT
be in
so called permanent structures
that have been built by human hands;
but instead
our faith/trust should be in the
One Who
has the power to protect us
in every situation and circumstance
and all adverse conditions.
We are to
abide and remain
in the
shade of shaddai….
the
shadow of the Almighty.

We live safely NOT because we have a well built house,
but because our Heavenly Father is
protecting us
and is also
providing for us
and caring for us each and every day.
Even the most reliable building is really just a
sukkah
because one day it will no longer exist.. BUT…
we will have a permanent dwelling place forever with Him.
Let’s allow Him to teach us to put our trust
only in Him
and to know that He shields us from harm because
He is our provider and protector.
This time of reflection towards our dwelling place and where we live and rest, reminds us ofPsalm 91:1-4because it’s related to the fact of not being reliant on a physical place in a natural sense….. It has the elements of a protective sinnah – shield,
and the shelter and shadow/shade/lezel
of the Almighty/Shaddai
…because is the secret place of
עֶלְי֑וֹן
El’yon
pronounced:el yown
which is
the shield and surrounding wall of His truth.
This is not a metaphorical description, it’s a real place;
as real as we allow it to be to us.
How so?
Because if we don’t believe it’s there or that it exists, how can we go there?
And if we don’t ever go there, how can we rest there habitually as the Psalmist says?
He who dwells in the shelter of Elyon,
will abide in
the shadow of Shaddai.
It’s very real, yet sometimes hard to find…
Is it because we’re looking for the wrong kind of structure?
When we read the word secret, do we think it’s hidden by some kind of camouflage?
The verse says it’s a stronghold so do we think its made of some indestructible material?
Does the shield part make us think we can’t see through it and that the surrounding wall may be so high and wide that we can’t get around or over it?
So we are looking for something our minds can relate to and in looking from the
Shade of Shaddai
we make our relationship with Him so complicated that we miss His provision, especially when it’s right where we are?
How can that be right?
Because His truth IS a shield
and the surrounding wall for us,
without the need for any additional support or fortifying;
and all we need to do is recognize that truth and
rest in the shadow of His Word – Jesus/Yeshua.
This is where we will find all the comfort and shelter we need.
With Isaiah and David the Psalmist, let’s state clearly….and not just for this week.. but going forward each and every day….
Father, YOU are our strength, our stronghold, our God and we trust in You. We are not looking for a natural fortress that’s impenetrable but we are resting habitually in Your protection, in the
shade of shadai/shaddai
because You are our
everlasting sukah/sukkah
and will one day tabernacle with us for ever.
If you haven’t already please take the time to read earlier posts focusing on the week of Sukkot/Tabernacles/Booths.
Please don’t leave here without assurance of your salvation because
one of these days we will leave behind this personal, physical
body/tent/temporary shelter/sukkah….
and dwell for eternity in one of two places..
either with, or without, the presence of our Heavenly Father.
Not sure ..you can be…
Make certain Messiah Jesus/Yeshua is your Redeemer,
Savior, Lord, and soon returning King
and that you have a personal relationship with Him.
It’s all about Life and Relationship, NOT Religion.
You are very precious in His sight.

This was the question that Yeshua/Jesus asked His disciples.
He didn’t ask the disciples
who people thought the Son of Man was
out of ignorance or
because He needed to know.
It was a primer for revealing His second question;
which was simply to give each of them an opportunity
to assess the true level of their individual faith.
But you… who do you say that I am?
Matthew 16:15
מי אתה אומר שאני
Parallel accounts are found in
Luke 9:18–20 and Mark 8.
Matthew relates that Peter did more than just identify
Yeshua HaMashiach /Jesus as the Christ/Messiah;
he also proclaimed Yeshua/Jesus’ divine nature:
You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God
Matthew 16:16
Peter answered, ‘God’s Messiah
Upon hearing such a bold response from Peter,
Yeshua/Jesus replied,
Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 16:17
Anochi or Anoki אָנֹכִי
pronounced aw-no-kee’
is the Hebrew of
I AM
and is referring to His essence, it is something that cannot be alluded to by any name or intimation.
The most famous statement ever uttered in all of history
The Ten Sayings/Commandments
begins with this unusual four-letter word:
Anochi.
The word means I, referring to God
I the Lord Your God took you out of Egypt….
Ani
is the common Hebrew pronoun for
I.
Some scholars say that
Anochi
is an acronym for
Ana Nafshi Ketovit Yehovit.
Which simply translated is:
I Myself wrote [these words and] gave [them to you].
In Exodus 3 and you will see the ancient Hebrew form for
“I am” is ehyeh.
In Ancient Hebrew
Future tense and Present tense were IDENTICAL.
Ehyeh is BOTH future and present tense.
Ancient Hebrew did not make a time distinction in its verb “tenses”, but a completion distinction.
An action was either complete or it was not complete.
In Hebrew, traditionally they call the completed aspect
(perfective) “past tense”;
and the not-completed aspect
(imperfective) “present/future tense”;
this is just so English speakers
don’t get too confused by perfective and imperfective.
ehyeh asher ehyeh
for
I am who I am
sometimes you will even find the footnote,
saying
as a alternate translation,
I will be who I will be.
Not to get too technical or hung up on language details…
Here below are some names of
God/YHWH/YHVH/YaHoVeH
in mp4 format
The ancient Hebrews didn’t write the vowels down, so we don’t know for sure, but Jehovah and Yahweh are both guesses at how this was pronounced.
The important thing is they give us a bigger picture of our Heavenly Father, based on characteristics revealed to people through their experiences, they are known as the attributes of God and these ‘Names’ tell us more about Him, describing His divine nature.
In this video they have pronounced the names according to their knowledge or understanding, it has Hebrew (ivrit), English & urdu translation and transliteration.

it doesn’t matter what everybody else thinks
it only matters…
who do you say that I am?
מי אתה אומר שאני
Each of us must answer
Yeshua/Jesus’s question for ourselves.
Who is He to us?
May His true Shalom/Peace
rest upon each one in Jesus/Yeshuas’ Name.

you are greatly loved and prayed for daily..
please make sure you are secure in the knowledge that you are saved….
NOT SURE? YOU CAN BE..
SAY THE FOLLOWING FROM YOUR HEART RIGHT NOW…
Heavenly Father I come to you in the Name of Jesus/Yeshua asking for forgiveness of my sins for which I am truly sorry. I repent of them all and turn away from my past.
I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus/Yeshua is your Son and that He died on the cross at calvary to pay the price for my sin, so that I might be forgiven and have eternal life in the kingdom of Heaven. Father I believe that Jesus/Yeshua rose from the dead and I ask you to come into my life right now and be my personal Savior and Lord and I will worship you all the days of my life. Because your word is truth I say that I am now forgiven and born again and by faith I am washed clean with the blood of Jesus/Yeshua. Thank you that you have accepted me into your family in Jesus’/Yeshua’s name. Amen.
