You were shown these things
This phrase refers to the miraculous signs and wonders that the Israelites witnessed, particularly during their exodus from Egypt and their journey through the wilderness. The Hebrew root for "shown" is "ra'ah," which means to see or perceive. This implies not just a physical sight but a deeper understanding and recognition of God's power and presence. Historically, these events were meant to solidify the Israelites' faith and trust in God, serving as undeniable evidence of His sovereignty and care for His chosen people.

so that you would know
The purpose of these divine revelations was to impart knowledge. The Hebrew word for "know" is "yada," which signifies an intimate, experiential knowledge rather than mere intellectual awareness. This knowledge is foundational to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, emphasizing that their faith is based on real, lived experiences of God's intervention and guidance.

that the LORD
The term "LORD" in all capitals is a translation of the Hebrew "YHWH," the sacred and personal name of God revealed to Moses at the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenantal faithfulness. It is a reminder to the Israelites of the personal relationship they have with the Creator, who is not a distant deity but an intimately involved God.

is God
This declaration affirms the monotheistic belief central to Israel's faith. The Hebrew word for "God" here is "Elohim," a term that, while plural in form, is used singularly to denote the one true God. This highlights the uniqueness and supremacy of YHWH over all other so-called gods, reinforcing the first commandment given to Israel: "You shall have no other gods before Me" (Exodus 20:3).

besides Him
This phrase underscores the exclusivity of God. In the ancient Near Eastern context, where polytheism was prevalent, this statement is a radical assertion of monotheism. It emphasizes that no other deity exists or can compare to YHWH, who alone is worthy of worship and allegiance.

there is no other
The finality of this statement leaves no room for doubt or alternative. It is a clear and emphatic declaration of God's singularity and uniqueness. This truth is foundational to the faith and identity of Israel as God's chosen people, called to be a light to the nations by demonstrating the reality of the one true God through their worship and obedience.

Verse 35. - All this Israel was made to see, in order that they might know that Jehovah is alone God, and beside him is no other. God (הָךאלֺלהִים, the God), the one living and true God.
