God's supremacy: 'He who is the Portion of Jacob is not like these, for he is the Maker of all things, including Israel, the tribe of his inheritance—the LORD Almighty is his name.' This verse identifies God as 'the Portion of Jacob' (Israel's divine inheritance) and establishes that He is completely unlike idols. The phrase 'the Maker of all things' reiterates God's creative supremacy. The designation 'the LORD Almighty' (YHWH Sabaoth) emphasizes God's power. Theologically, this verse establishes that Israel's God is fundamentally different from the gods of other nations: He is Creator, not creature.
