2:116; 55:18.
Commentary:
With the words, 'Lord of the East and the West,' Moses completes his argument about the undisputed lordship of God over the entire universe. These words refer to the vastness of God’s kingdom in respect of directions and sides. They may also contain an effective hint to the falseness of the polytheistic beliefs of the Egyptians who worshipped the sun and therefore looked upon the East and the West as belonging to their own gods.
