El Roi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

El Roi (Hebrew: אל ראי) is one of the names of God in the Hebrew Bible.

It is commonly translated as "the God who sees me" and is both a descriptive epithet for God using the word "El" (God) and a modifier indicating a quality of God. It was first mentioned in the Book of Genesis (Genesis 16:13), by Hagar, mother of Abraham's eldest son, Ishmael.

Elahi (אלהי,إلاهي) in Aramaic means "My God."

Elah or Alah means God (Name for God as 'Awesome One') in Aramaic. The "i" after Elah means "my". Elah-i, Elahi = My God (Mark 15:34). Elah is pronounced as Alah in Arabic. In the Old Testament Elahi is found only in the books of Ezra and Daniel.[citation needed]
