pele

WONDER WORD OF THE DAY

If you were a soccer player, you would be thrilled to have this name.  This Hebrew word is “incredible, marvelous, wonderful, and astonishing” all rolled into one simple word – pele.  It is translated as “amazingly” in Exodus 15:11, “You [God] are wonderfully holy, amazingly powerful, a worker of miracles.

That is just a more contemporary way of the rhetorical question used in the NASB, “Who is like you, majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders.”

OT6382 from OT6381: pala’ which is a primitive root meaning to separate or be distinguished.
