El Elyon = God Most High

We love being above others, which makes things interesting when we see God described as “God Most High” (El Elyon) in Genesis 14. This distinct name sets God apart from all would-be “competitors” or “rivals.” As the Most High, the God of the Bible is supreme. He is lifted up, exalted, positioned far above mere high things or even higher things. As the Most High, He surpasses all else. No one can go toe-to-toe or see eye to eye with the Most High. No one can raise himself or herself above God and look down on God.
