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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5945b.htm">Elyon</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"high," a name of God<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Highest One (4).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Most high <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5945.htm">'elyown</a>;
