## In Jewish tradition

"God Almighty" translates El Shaddai, a name God uses with the patriarchs, especially when promising blessing and children.

**Interpretation.** Tradition often explains Shaddai as "the One who is enough" or "who said to the world: Enough", and sees in it God's power to set limits and give life.
