He has no substitute

He has no substitute

There is no replacement for him. Figuratively: very unique.

("All the world and everything in it we find to have been created during the six days of creation, except for the water, the wind, and the darkness, as it is said: 'And darkness was upon the face of the deep, and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters.' Until Isaiah came and said: 'Who forms light and creates darkness.' Rabbi Ishmael says: 'One has no substitute and no other to match him.'" - Otzar HaMidrashim (Eisenstein), Temurah, 581)
