Aluf
''Aluf'' ((ヘブライ語:אלוף), lit. "champion") is the term used in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) for officers who in other countries would have the rank of general, air marshal, or admiral. In addition to the ''aluf'' rank itself, there are four other ranks which are derivatives of the word. Together, they constitute the five highest ranks in the IDF.
== Etymology ==
The term ''aluf'' comes from the Bible: the Edomites used it as a rank of nobility, while the later books of the Tanakh use it to describe Israelite captains, as well e.g. Zachariah 9:7, 12:5-6, and later for example Psalms 55:13 it is used as a general term for teacher. It comes from a Semitic root meaning "thousand", making an "''aluf''" the one who commands a thousand people. Strong however connects the word used to describe the Dukes of Edom, to a different root "''alf''" denoting a teacher and the root for the animal 'ox' from which the letter Aleph itself is derived, rather than ''eleph'' thousand, however they both comprise the same 3 letters.
