Shad'da-i. (the Mighty). An ancient name of God, rendered "Almighty", everywhere in the Authorized Version, is found in connection with el, "God", El Shaddai, being then rendered, "God Almighty". By the name, or in the character of El-Shaddai, God was known to the patriarchs, Genesis 17:1; Genesis 28:3; Genesis 43:14; Genesis 48:3; Genesis 40:25, before the name Jehovah, in its full significance, was revealed. Exodus 6:3. See God.
