Jewish speaking people? Gods Name, El Shaddai, is this Name definition really feminine?

I have heard it means breasted, giver of milk or the God of more than enouph with plenty left over.





Also Shadd can mean Spirit in a good or bad way. El Shaddai, would mean Godly Spirit or Gods Spirit possibly, right?

El Shaddai is best understood as Almighty God.





Yes, the root of shaddai is shad, which means breast... but not necessarily the female breast. Think of it as the chest, rather than the breast. The word shad is masculine, as is shaddai.





Some try to translate shaddai as "double breasted," but that is incorrect. The word would have to be shaddayim. Shaddai by itself could be understood as "my breasts" or "my chest".





With El meaning God, in the construct case (in English, that usually means putting "of" after the word), we could say "God of my chest." Since that doesn't really mean anything, we look for the figurative meaning. The chest was where armor was worn. It's the center of the body, the place of strength. So we could extrapolate God of my Strength.





Shadd does not mean spirit. The word for spirit is ruach.

Reply:I dont know about hebrew, but in punjabi shaddai means idiot, possibly with farsi roots, and it is masculine, shaddain is femeinine
Reply:I think you mean "Hebrew"...and God has various names in the Old Testament depending on what Its doing. If Its creating, it's "Elohim" (which, incidentally, is a plural word like "family")...when It's destroying, It's "Al Saddai"...when it's commanding, It's "Yahweh"...so, either God has many faces or the ancients had a name for each "Spirit" that does these things...kind of like the Indians and pagans making God's out of nature (the Sun God, the God of Thunder and Lighting, etc.). In any event, the human perception of a "God" has been wrong for Centuries.
