El, God, god

"El", an ancient Hebrew word for "God". Alone or with another title it is a name of the God of Israel: El Elyon (God Most High), El Shaddai (God Almighty). Neighboring peoples used the same word for their gods; then this translation writes "god" in lower case. It also means "mighty".

The sacred enclosure where God was served: the sanctuary and its innermost room.

Something spread out and firm, like a sheet of metal beaten with a hammer. It is the "vault" of the heavens: what is seen above, like a roof spread over the earth, which God set to separate the waters below from the waters above; God called it "heavens".
