Aluf
Aluf (Hebrew: 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.

I was raised in a way wher the time was the day was to play hard to get babe
But then it changed suddenly man you came and took my breath away
I was caught in a vine at a time in the night where my life wasnt right babe
But then again suddeny suddenly you came and i was swept away
Ooh like a bird i just fly cuz im free
