Shaddai

"The Architect and Builder of the town was one SHADDAI. This is God's all-powerful name, indicative of his greatness, glory, and all-mightiness—'the pourer forth.'"[2]

"SHADDAI. This is a name of God often used in the Old Testament, but translated ALMIGHTY. It is a Hebrew word, signifying All-sufficient, or Almighty. It is derived from the Hebrew word for the breast, which affords nourishment to young creatures; and so intimates, that we derive all our support from God, as the helpless infant from the mother’s breast. This name is, in this work, applied to God the Father."[1]
