and Shadday, the Overpowering One
| Root | שדד (sh-d-d) |
| Core Meanings | to overpower, devastate, lay waste, despoil |
| Semantic Range | Almighty, Overpowerer, Destroyer, One of overwhelming might, sovereign power |
| Conceptual Significance | Shadday is a key patriarchal name of God (e.g., "El Shadday"), emphasizing His irresistible power to judge, subdue, and also to protect and bless. It highlights YHWH’s supreme sovereignty and capacity to overcome all opposition. |
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction וְ ("and") prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). Functions as a divine title, grammatically singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | שַׁדַּי is a proper masculine singular divine title traditionally rendered "Almighty," likely derived from the root שׁדד (to overpower or devastate). Rendering it as "the Overpowering One" preserves the root sense of overwhelming might, while the prefixed וְ is reflected by "and," and the singular proper-name status is maintained. |
