📚 Historical Context
This verse comes from the Song of Moses, sung by the Israelites immediately after God miraculously parted the Red Sea and delivered them from Egyptian slavery. At this time, every nation worshipped multiple gods, so Moses is boldly proclaiming that Israel's God stands far above all other deities. This was a revolutionary declaration of monotheism in a polytheistic world.
