Significance continued:
                    (1)
No other elohim is like Yehuveh. Repeatedly Torah speaks of Yehuveh’s incomparable
                qualities:
“Among the elohims there is none like unto Thee, O Yehuveh; neither are there any
                works like unto Thy works. All nations whom Thou hast made shall come and worship before
                Thee, O Yehuveh; and shall glorify Thy name. For Thou art great, and doest wondrous things:
                Thou art Elohim alone.” “For who in the heaven can be compared unto Yehuveh? who among
                the sons of the mighty can be likened unto Yehuveh? Elohim is greatly to be feared in the
                assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about Him. O Yehuveh
                Elohim of hosts, who is a strong Yehuveh like unto Thee? or to Thy faithfulness round about
                Thee? Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, Thou stillest them. . . .
                Thou hast scattered Thine enemies with Thy strong arm. The heavens are Thine, the earth also
                is Thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, Thou hast founded them.”
Psalms 86:8-10;
                89:6-11
[also: Deuteronomy 3:24; 33:26; 1 Samuel 2:2; 2 Samuel 7:22; 1 Kings 8:23;
                Psalms 35:10; 77:19; Isaiah 40:18, 25; Jeremiah 10:6, 16; 49:19
]. 
                    (2)
Yehuveh created us and all around us: For Yehuveh is a great Elohim, and a great
                King above all elohims.
In His hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is
                His also.
The sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land. O come, let us
                worship and bow down: let us kneel before Yehuveh our maker.” “In the beginning Elohim
                created the heaven and the earth.”
Psalms 95:3-6 [also Job 35:10; Psalms 100:3;
                Ecclesiastes 12:1; Isaiah 54:5
]; Genesis 1:1 [also Exodus 20:11; 31:17; 1 Chronicles 16:26;
                Nehemiah 9:6; Job 26:13; 38:4; Psalms 8:3; 33:6, 9; 89:11, 12; 96:5; 102:25; 104:24, 30;
                115:15; 121:2; 124:8; 134:3; 136:5; 146:6; 148:4, 5; Proverbs 3:19; 8:22-30; Ecclesiastes 12:1;
                Isaiah 37:16; 40:26, 28; 42:5; 44:24; 45:18; 51:13, 16; 65:17; Jeremiah 10:12; 32:17; 51:15;
               
Zechariah 12:1].
                    (3)
Covenant relationship with Yehuveh established a totally different reason for worshipping
                Him, serving Him, and yielding to His instruction, from that of the people who serve their elohims
                out of fear or coercion:
“Know therefore that Yehuveh thy Elohim, He is Elohim, the faithful
                Elohim, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His
                commandments to a thousand generations.” “Yehuveh Elohim of Israel, there is no Elohim like
                thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keepest covenant and mercy with Thy servants
                that walk before Thee with all their heart.”
Deuteronomy 7:9; 1 Kings 8:23 [also Deuteronomy 7:9;
                Nehemiah 1:5; 9:32; Psalms 89:3-5; Daniel 9:4;
Micah 7:19, 20].               Continue . . . .
