That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west,
that there is none beside X. X is the Y, and there is none else.

Try and show how the substitution of any value for X results in a
different precisely literal meaning than {Only X exists}.

(X = the Universal Set, Y = Set of All Things)

(X = the Bullfrog, Y = The Big Green One)

That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west,
that there is none beside {the Bullfrog}. {the Bullfrog} is the
{The Big Green One}, and there is none else.

Here's proof that you're wrong: You should've
typed "from" where you've typed "than".
