In the two Hebrew Tanakh sites (Chabad and JPS), there is a very clear three dots under the ayin, meaning an eh sound, not o. Also, in the second syllable, there is a free standing o, meaning that the dot is on top rather than in the middle.
Here I made an error. He said something, and I remembered it being that there were other times in the text where El Elyon was used, and I assumed he was talking about other occasions in his Interlinear Hebrew text. But apparently he was not. This obviously means it was not a data entry mistake. I'm utterly baffled what their reasoning was behind "Oliun."
I made an error. In post 63, he said, "Then Go other Places and you will find El Elyon .. so obviously .. these are two different epithets." My assumption was that "other Places" referred to other times the word was used in his Interlinear Hebrew site. Apparently that's not what he meant. I did my best to check all the incidents of elyon (although its possible that my search didn't catch them all, it only turned up eight or so instances, which strikes me as too low), and on every occasion, his site rendered it as Oliun. This makes his remark confusing to me, as the latter portion does NOT make the claim that "other translations incorrectly render this as elyon," but rather says, Elyon and Oliun "are two different epithets, " which rather implies that Elyon exists on his site but is using a different Hebrew word.
The faulty transliterations are widespread through the material cited by @Sargonski. Some of that is attributable to the noninclusion of vowels.
What name do you think the Rabbi called you?
I went vowel by vowel and illustrated to you that the Hebrew word cannot be transliterated as Oliun.
I did not engage in either name calling or personal invective. Noting that the transliteration is faulty was in no way a negative judgement regarding your intelligence or your character.
I did not look to see if there is any claim one way or another on the website. If it is not phonetic I don't see how it can be used for the purpose the poster has used it on this thread.
What the heck does that even mean? A transliteration by definition is when you change one alphabet into a new one using its rule for phonetics. Am I missing something?
"In lieu of" means the same thing as "substituting for." It means that right now, because there is no temple, we fulfill the laws of sacrifice by praying. This is why names for the three daily prayer services are identical to the names of the three daily sacrifices.
No you didn't ... and there is no such thing as going vowel by vowel .. you are talking nonsense and have not shown how the Hebrew Word for "Most High" is not a synonym for Supreme .. but regardless .. who cares .. we can go with the epithet El Elyon ... I told you this before ... as whether it is "God Most High" or "God Supreme" it is an epithet for EL Most High Canaanite God .. such that in Psalm 82 .. we find this term again Sons of the Most High God .. the Most high God being referred to is EL .. I like Sons of the Supreme one - transliteration better but .. they mean essentially the same thing ..
