Psa. 82:6

The Hebrew adjective ืขืœื™ื•ึนืŸ (สฟelyลn) is derived from the root สฟ-ืœ-ื” / สฟ-ืœ-ื™, meaning "to go up" or "to ascend." It conveys the sense of "upper," "highest," or "most exalted." In biblical and post-biblical usage, สฟelyลn frequently denotes supremacy, preeminence, or exalted status—not merely spatial height but also rank, authority, or ontological superiority. This is evident in titles such as ืืœ ืขืœื™ื•ึนืŸ (สพฤ“l สฟelyลn, "God Most High") in Genesis 14:18–20, where the term connotes divine sovereignty and ultimate authority. Here, there is no definite article, nor ืืœ for "god" thus the rendering "the Most High" is incorrect.
