Lofty One
| Root | עלה (ʿ-l-h) |
| Core Meanings | to go up, ascend, rise, be elevated, height |
| Semantic Range | high, upper, highest, supreme, exalted; as a divine title, the Most High |
| Conceptual Significance | As a title for God, עֶלְיוֹן emphasizes His supreme elevation above all powers and realms. It expresses transcendence, sovereignty, and unmatched authority, portraying YHWH as the One who is exalted above heaven and earth. |
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, masculine singular, absolute state; used both attributively (“upper, highest”) and substantively as a title. Frequently functions as a divine epithet. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective derives from the root עלה (“to ascend, rise”), conveying elevation or height. As a masculine singular adjective in the absolute state (HAamsa), it is rendered as the singular personal title “Lofty One,” preserving both its elevated sense and its masculine singular form. |
