[Shmuel] Why do you ask?

L'maan In order that
yedoo they (will) know
meemezraH-shemesh from the shining of the sun (the east)
umeemaravah and from the west
kee-ephes that there is no one (zero)
beeladai besides Me;
Anee YHVH I am HaShem
v'ain and there is not
ode. another.

HaShem claims that there is *not* another "besides Me" (singular),
the Creator (the Father). There is *not* a second or a third
(co-equal, co-eternal) person besides Him as so many "Christians"
falsely claim to this day. But, eventually everyone everywhere
will know that He *alone* is king.
