Commentators unanimously affirm that this verse's core message is God's exclusive role in leading Israel. He required no divine assistants and shared His glory with no one. This solitary action, as scholar John Gill notes, means all the credit for Israel's deliverance and guidance belongs to Him alone, forming the basis for their required exclusive worship.
