Tetapi Aku adalah TUHAN, Allahmu sejak di tanah Mesir; engkau tidak mengenal allah kecuali Aku, dan tidak ada juruselamat selain dari Aku.
Kendatilah, maka Aku juga Allahmu, yaitu mulai dari pada Mesir, dan kecuali Aku tiada kamu mengetahui Allah; kecuali Aku tiadalah penolong padamu!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Yet I [am] the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt,.... Which brought thee out from thence, as the Targum; and ever since, from that time to this, had shown a regard unto them, as the Lord their God, both in the wilderness, as later mentioned, and in the land of Canaan, where they had been continued, and followed with instances of goodness to that day, and yet find sinned in so gross a manner; which argued great ingratitude in them, and forgetfulness of the Lord, and his mercies:
and thou shalt know no God but me; they ought to have known, acknowledged, and worshipped no other god, as was enjoined them in the law: or, "thou knowest not" b; they did not know any other, which they in their own consciences were obliged to confess, if appealed to; however, they should know no other; by sad experience they would find that there was no other that could be of any service to them; their images and idols being unable to help them:
for [there is] no saviour besides me; that could save them out of their troubles, and deliver them out of their distresses; no other that is, or can be, the author, either of temporal or of spiritual and eternal salvation.
b לא תדע "non novisti, [vel] cognovisti", Liveleus, Drusius, Rivet.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Yet - , (literally, and) I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt God was still the same God who had sheltered them with His providence, ever since He had delivered them from Egypt. He had the same power and will to help them. Therefore their duty was the same, and their destruction arose, not from any change in Him, but from themselves. “God is the God of the ungodly, by creation and general providence.”
And thou shalt - (i. e., oughtest to) know no God but Me, for (literally, and) there is not a Saviour but me “To be God and Lord and Saviour are incommunicable properties of God. Wherefore God often claimed these titles to Himself, from the time He revealed Himself to Israel. In the song of Moses, which they were commanded to rehearse, He says, “See now that I, I am He, and there is no God with Me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal; neither is there any that can deliver out of My hand” Deuteronomy 32:39. Isaiah repeats this same, “Is there a God besides Me? yea there is no God; I know not any” Isaiah 44:8; and “There is no God else besides Me, a just God and a Saviour; there is none else. Look unto Me and be ye saved, for I am God and there is none else” Isaiah 45:21, Isaiah 45:2; and, “I am the Lord, that is My Name; and My glory will I not give to another; neither My praise to graven images” Isaiah 42:8. : “That God and Saviour is Christ; God, because He created; Saviour, because, being made Man, He saved. Whence He willed to be called Jesus, i. e., Saviour. Truly “beside” Him, “there is no Saviour; neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven, given among men, whereby we must be saved” Acts 4:12. “It is not enough to recognize in God this quality of a Saviour. It must not be shared with “any other.” Whoso associates with God any power whatever to decide on man’s salvation makes an idol, and introduces a new God.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Hosea 13:4. I am the Lord thy God — This was the first discovery I made of myself to you, and the first commandment I gave; and I showed you that besides me there was no Saviour. There is a remarkable addition in the Septuagint here: "But I am Jehovah thy God, who stretched out the heavens and created the earth. And I showed them not to thee, that thou shouldest walk after them. And I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt," &c. This might have been once in the Hebrew text.
