For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:
For the LORD your God is the God above all gods, and the Lord above all lords—a great God who is mighty and awesome, who shows no favoritism to anyone and cannot be bribed.
This verse declares that God is supreme over all other powers and authorities, and He treats everyone fairly without showing favoritism or accepting bribes.
📚 Historical Context
Moses spoke these words to the Israelites as they prepared to enter the Promised Land after 40 years in the wilderness. In the ancient world, people worshipped many gods and earthly rulers often showed favoritism to the wealthy and powerful. Moses was emphasizing that Israel's God was different—supreme over all other deities and completely just in His dealings with people.
