Bible commentaries

The name EL SHADDAI appears for the first time in the Scriptures (Genesis 17:1) when Abraham received God's promise to have many descendants. Some scholars suggest that Shaddai refers to the power of God manifested in his trial. Others suggest that Shaddai means "God of the mountains". God refers to himself as "El Shaddai" when he confirms his pact with Abraham. EL SHADDAI is the third name with which God is revealed in the Scriptures. The word "EL" indicates power, strength and almightiness. The word "SHADDAI" means "one who nourish, supplies and fulfils" EL SHADDAI is a giving Almighty God. EL SHADDAI is the God that pours blessings over our heads and gives us life in abundance. In some occasions EL SHADDAI allows us to be tested and afflicted to empty us from ourselves and that way be able to be filled with Him and his blessings, the same way it happened with Job, Ruth, etc.
