Exegesis
The emphatic identification attah hu haelohim {אַתָּה־הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים | ʾat-tāh hûʾ hā-ʾĕ-lō-hîm} ‘You, He, are the God’ combines an independent pronoun and a copular element to heighten exclusivity; levaddekha {לְבַדְּךָ | lə-ḇad-de-kā} ‘alone’ then sharpens the confession.
Root and etymology
