*El Shadday: the Breasted One (Psalm 87; Galatians 4:26; Revelation 12)*
Can anyone help me with verifying that El Shadday can mean "The Breasted
One"
Erin Burroughs wrote the following in an article:
"Strong's Bible Concordance lists "El" (word #410) as meaning "God;" and
"Shadday" (word 7706) as meaning "Almighty," where the title "really
indicates the fullness and riches of God's grace, that He is never weary
of pouring forth His mercies on His people, and that He is more ready to
give than they are to receive," and where "bountiful expresses the sense
most exactly." When we look at the word "bountiful," we see that it is
from the Latin "bonita-s." In the Oxford Latin Dictionary, we see that
"bonita-s" is a *feminine* adjective for "goodness, kindness,
benevolence." When we look at the Hebrew root words for Shadday, which
are "shad" and "day," we see in Strong's Bible Concordance that "shad"
(word 7699) means "the breast of a woman" and "day" (word 1767) means
"enough, sufficient, from, able, according to, after ability, among, as
oft as, more than enough, in, much as is sufficient, sufficiently, very."
Thanks for the help,
