Unity of God and Cosmic Order
The insight of this snip is that the passage from Deuteronomy emphasizes the uniqueness of one God amidst many gods, portraying Yahweh as the sole deity of Israel. The concept of celestial rulers governing the cosmos is highlighted in Paul's writings, drawing on this passage in 1 Corinthians. Philo echoes similar sentiments, discussing celestial bodies as rulers and subjects under one father. This contrasts with the Greek belief of attributing all powers to secondary rulers instead of the ultimate authority.
