SIBI-P1 H426-02
Mighty God
| Root | אל (ʾ-l) |
| Core Meanings | strength, might, power, prominence |
| Semantic Range | God, a god, the Deity, the Mighty One; in context may denote the God of Israel or a deity acknowledged by surrounding nations. |
| Conceptual Significance | This title emphasizes God’s supreme might and authority, especially in the Aramaic portions of Scripture where His sovereignty is proclaimed before imperial powers, underscoring His rule over kings and kingdoms. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic masculine singular proper noun in the absolute state; functions as a singular personal designation for God in Aramaic sections of Scripture (e.g., Daniel, Ezra). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אֱלָהּ is the Aramaic cognate of אֱלוֹהַּ, derived from the root אל conveying strength and might. As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it refers to one specific deity, so "Mighty God" preserves both the root sense of power and the singular, personal reference. |
