1. The mighty God, even the Lord. El,
Elohim, Jehovah, three glorious names for the God of Israel. To render the
address more impressive these august titles are mentioned, just as in royal
decrees the names and dignities of monarchs are placed in the forefront. Here
the true God is described as Almighty, as the only and perfect object of
adoration and as the self-existent One. Hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun until the going down thereof. The dominion of
Jehovah extends over the whole earth, and therefore to all mankind is his
decree directed.
