* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ وَقَالَ ٱللَّهُ لاَ تَتَّخِذُواْ إِلـٰهَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلـٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ فَإيَّايَ فَٱرْهَبُونِ }

And God has said ‘Do not choose two gods ithnayn is for emphasis. Truly there is only One God — He has added this statement to affirm His Divinity and Oneness — so be in awe of Me alone’ fear Me to the exclusion of anyone else — herein is a shift from the third person to the first.
