Study Note

God's appearance to the ninety-nine-year-old Abram as 'El Shaddai' (traditionally 'God Almighty,' though the etymology is debated — possibly 'God of the mountains' or 'God of the breast/abundance') marks the formal renewal of the covenant with the added requirement 'walk before me, and be thou perfect.' The command to 'walk before me' (hithalekh lefanai) echoes the description of Enoch (Genesis 5:24) and Noah (6:9), positioning Abram in a lineage of covenant faithfulness. This theophany accompanies the name change from Abram ('exalted father') to Abraham ('father of many nations'), the covenant of circumcision, and the inclusion of Sarah in the promise by renaming her. El Shaddai appears primarily in the Pentateuch and Job, where it marks encounters at moments of radical dependence on divine power to fulfill what is humanly impossible.
