Berean Strong's Lexicon Elyon: Most High Original Word: עֶלְיוֹן Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: Elyon Pronunciation: el-yone' Phonetic Spelling: (el-yone') Definition: Most High Meaning: the Supreme Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5310: ὕψιστος (hypsistos) - Often translated as "Most High" in the New Testament, used to describe God's supreme authority and exalted position. Usage: The term "Elyon" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the supreme sovereignty and exalted nature of God. It emphasizes God's position as the highest authority, above all other powers and deities. This title is often used in contexts that highlight God's majesty, power, and supreme rule over the universe. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, many cultures had a pantheon of gods, each with specific roles and domains. The use of "Elyon" in the Hebrew Scriptures serves to distinguish the God of Israel as the supreme deity, above all other gods. This was a significant theological assertion in a polytheistic environment, affirming the monotheistic belief in one true God who reigns over all creation.
