“Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.”
The statement that the LORD is Israel's God from the land of Egypt and that Israel should know no God but him, no Savior but the LORD, establishes the exclusive covenant relationship as the foundation of Israel's existence and salvation. The assertion that the LORD alone is Savior denies that anyone or anything else can provide deliverance. This verse reasserts the foundational covenant principle of exclusive devotion to God as the only source of salvation.
