El Shaddai — all-sufficient, not lacking
Most perfect: holds every excellence of every being.
Hebrew Shaddai / Dai = sufficiency.
El Shaddai: lacks nothing; self-sufficient — often rendered omnipotent.
Latin
XIX. Deus igitur est ens perfectissimum, quod non tantum entia singula perfectione superat, sed etiam in se habet omnem omnis entis perfectionem: nec caret excellentia ulla quae sit aut esse possit. Et haec est summa Dei perfectio, quam exprimit vox Hebraea Shaddai, quae unum est ex divinis nominibus. Nam Dai Hebraeis est sufficientia. Ideoque El Shaddai proprie significat illum cui nihil deest, & qui nulla re eget, sed in se, & a se habet omnimodam sufficientiam, sive dixeris autarkes, qui sibi ipsi sufficit & potest solus omnia efficere, unde non male vertitur omnipotens.
