Analysis & Commentary

Triple self-identification: 'I am the LORD, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.' Each title reveals an aspect of God's relationship to Israel: covenant LORD (YHWH), morally transcendent Holy One, creative originator, and ruling King. This comprehensive identity grounds His promises.

Historical Context

These titles summarize God's multi-faceted relationship with Israel. He is simultaneously their covenant God, the transcendent holy one, their maker, and their king—comprehensively invested in their welfare.
