With the preposition עַל־ it could be; on, about, to, onto, upon, above, by, towards, toward, unto. Psalm 7:10 Hebrew מָֽגִנִּ֥י עַל־ אֱלֹהִ֑ים מֹ֝ושִׁ֗יעַ יִשְׁרֵי־ לֵֽב which then is 'My shield by God to deliver right inner man". | |

The question is whether the Hebrew על (not אל) should be understood as a divine title or (if not) how to translate the preposition. These reflections about the English preposition "with" don't seem to address this. (The more common translation of על is "on", and I don't know of a precedent for using it to designate a "protective source" as you say, but that would be interesting if it works in Hebrew.) | |
