No One Among the Holy Myriads Is Like the Holy One

Midrash Tanchuma Buber, V'Zot HaBerachah 3:2

Curated by Arthur·Translated by Maggid (Beta)·

(Deuteronomy 33:2:) AND HE CAME FROM THE HOLY MYRIADS. This teaches that the Holy One, blessed be He, is great and His name is to be praised among all His host, for His attributes are not like the attribute of flesh and blood. The attribute of flesh and blood: if the king goes forth amid his retinue, he is comely, but among his hosts there are some more comely than he; he is mighty, but among his hosts there are some mightier than he. But the Holy One, blessed be He, among all His myriads there is none like Him, as it is said (Psalms 86:8): "There is none like You among the gods, O LORD." And it says (Exodus 15:11): "Who is like You among the gods, O LORD?"
