See now that I, even I, am he; there is no god beside me. I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; and no one can deliver from my hand — monotheistic assertion ('ani ani hu'): exclusive divinity. God alone kills and makes alive ('aharog v'achayeh'), wounds and heals ('atzim v-erpah'). No god rivals God's power.
