The words of God.
 An acknowledgment that the message came from God, and not by the practice of magic (see Amos 3:7; Jer. 23:18, 22).
The most High.
 First used of God in Gen. 14:18-22, in the story of Melchizedek. Moses also used the title in speaking of the division of the earth among the nations (Deut. 32:8; see Acts 17:26). The Hebrew expression is also found occasionally in the Psalms (Ps. 18:13; 78:35; 89:27). The term is not limited to sacred use, but is found in Gen. 40:17 as “uppermost,” in 1 Kings 9:8; 2 Chron. 7:21; Neh. 3:25; and Jer. 20:2 as “high,” in 2 Kings 18:17 as “upper,” and in Jer. 36:10 as “higher.”
