The Hebrew name of God Elyon  occurs in combination with El, YHWH or Elohim, and also alone.

It means “the  Most High” (from to go up”) or “the exalted One” (Gen.14:17-20;  Ps. 18:13 Is.14:13,14).

It appears chiefly in poetic and later Biblical passages. The modern Hebrew adjective “`Elyon” means “supreme” (as in “Supreme Court”) or “Most High”. The Phoenicians used what appears to be a similar name for God, Έλιον. It is cognate to the Arabic `Aliyy.e

El Elyon has been traditionally translated into English as ‘God Most High’.

See Dt. 26:19;  32:8   Ps. 18:13;  78:35;  7:17;  18:13;  97:9;  56:2;  78:56;  18:13  Dan. 7:25,27   Is.14:14

The Most High God is far too great and magnificent to be limited to houses made by men ( Ac. 7:48-50)
