Exegesis
The comparative phrase baelim {בָּאֵלִם | bā-ʾê-lîm} ‘among the gods’ contrasts YHWH with other deities, and the repetition of kamokha {כָּמוֹכָה | kamô-ḵā} ‘like you’ heightens exclusivity.
In context — Exodus 15:11
Who is like You among the gods, O LORD ? Who is like You—majestic in holiness, awesome in praises, working wonders?
