New Oxford Annotated Bible offers this amazing commentary in Genesis:


The phrase translated as God Almighty ([Hebrew of the consonantal Masoretic Text] "El Shadday") is variously understood as "God [or "El"], the one of the moun- tains," "God of the Shadday [deities]," or even "fertile God" (literally, "God with breasts,"...). Whatever its original meaning, the Priestly tradition understands this epithet to be what the early ancestors of Israel called God before they learned the name Yahweh (Ex 6.2-8).

message from me to my sibling: I just keep singing it along to that Amy Grant song, "El Shaddai." But instead it's "God with tits, God with tits, God with giant, massive boobs."

Early Hebrew polytheism (before it became a monotheistic religion) is wild. Do you know about the Kuntillet ʿAjrud illustrations?
