(1) high, higher (opp. to תַּהְתּוֹן), Genesis 40:17. הַבְּרֵכָה הָעֶלְיֹנָה the higher pool (i.e. situated in a higher place), 2 Kings 18:17; Ezekiel 42:5. Used once of something set in an elevated place, and made an example of punishment to men, such as is called in Greek παραδειγματίζεσθαι. 1 Kings 9:8, וְהַבַּיִת הַזֶּה יִהְיֶה עֶלְיוֹן Vulg. et domus hƟc erit in exemplum.

(The Phœnicians and Carthaginians used the same word in speaking of their gods, viz. Ἐλιοῦν, i.q. ὕψιστος, Philo Bybl. in Euseb. Præp. Evang. i. 10; and Alonim valonuth (עליונים ועליונות) the gods and goddesses, pr. those who are above, both male and female. Plaut. Pœn. v. 1, 1; also pr.n.

עֶלְיוֹן Ch. id., only in plur. (majest.) ֙ינִוֹילשׁשְׂ used of the supreme God, Daniel 7:22, 25. [But may not this pl. adj. be equivalent to ὕψιστα in the New Test.? highest places.]
