It asserts that he is mortal (like humans) and as a consequence not a “god”(immortal) and the word here used is el. Had it first said you are not a god then I think you would have had a stronger case but mortality was emphasized first. Consider “I said, "You are gods**(elohim plural of el), sons of the Most High, all of you; **nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince."” Psalms 82:6-7 ESV these gods have been stripped of immortality and Ezekiel points this out | |
