God’s glory is a necessary aspect of His existence and cannot be taken from Him.53 This כָבוֹד is used in conjunction to His majesty and rule, with which He appears to people (Ezek 1:28; 3:23; 8:4), and to His temple above the cherubim where He is enthroned (Ezek 9:3; 10:4; 11:22).54 God deserves כָבוֹד because of the high status of His authority.55 For Israel, the glory of God, which signifies God’s importance, must be respected, something that is done primarily through right behavior.56
