But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.Here we have another example of a prideful and selfish God. When we claim something or someone as our very own, we both objectify it AND make such claims to satisfy the ego. He's not setting a very good example, is he?
~ King James version ~
Therefore the sage goes about doing nothing, teaching no-talking.
The ten thousand things rise and fall without cease,
Creating, yet not.
Working, yet not taking credit.
Work is done, then forgotten.
Therefore it lasts forever.
~ from Verse 2 of the Tao Te Ching ~
The Sage learns from Tao not to possess nor take credit. Tao exemplifies humility and serves as a good role model for all creation.
