I am a fluent Hebrew speaker. I knew the El Shaddai song when I was little and I liked it a lot. Back then I knew no Hebrew:), but I knew that El Shaddai was G-d’s name. Now after a lot of years I wanted to hear this song again, and I looked for its lyrics. The few versions of the word “Erkamka” or “Erkahmka” It intrigued me, since it didn’t sound to me “love” (well, I know the spoken Hebrew, not the high Hebrew) I searched for more info. I knew there should be the “מך” ending. First I got to PROZ.com website, where someone else asked teh same question, and in the answer your website was quoted.

The explanation is really good and with the “true spirit of the Bible”. I appreciate the the explanation of the name and how you arrived at it. I had just finished praying to God about my sister and asking him for mercy. The Holy Spirit requested El Shaddai. When I try to sing the song along with Amy. He had me stumble over the Erkamka na Adonai (as if something was not right).
So, I went to the internet and found you. I know now that the Holy Spirit was leading me to the mercy of GOD. I recite and praise the names of GOD as part of my worship and prayers.

I am led, by the HOLY SPIRIT to do this. Pastor Mariottini, This is a wonderful explanation! I am a Psalmist and have an invite to give The word on January 2017 and when I asked The LORD what does He wants me to speak about I clearly heard His voice telling me to teach on (El Cancana) “spanish” I rapidly started to study looking in to The bible and I remember the song (El Shaddai), founded followed by your explanation I have a very clear way to continue on to spreading the Word and worshiping His name. Thank you so much for your wisdom. This article has brought tears to my eyes and contentment to my Spirit. I bless you in Christ Jesus name. ? Thank you!!
