9194. 'Except to Jehovah alone' means that the Lord, who is the one and only God, is to be worshipped. This is clear from the meaning of 'offering sacrifice', at this point 'to Jehovah alone', as worship, dealt with above in 9192. The reason why 'to Jehovah' means to the Lord is that in the Word 'Jehovah' is used to mean no one other than the Lord, see 1343, 1736, 2921, 3023, 3035, 4692, 5663, 6303, 6905, 8864. The Divine, which He called the Father, is the Divine Good within Himself, 2803, 3704, 7499, 8897. Thus the Lord is the one and only God, 1607, 2149, 2156, 2329, 2447, 2751, 3194, 3704, 3712, 3938, 4577, 4687, 5321, 6280, 6371, 6849, 6993, 7014, 7182, 7209, 8241, 8724, 8760, 8864, 8865.
