What is the meaning of "Ani ch'Ficha la'Kel"?

1.

Rashi: You wanted to debate with one who will not scare you. I am in place of Hashem; I speak His words for Him!

2.

Ibn Ezra: I am like your words and thoughts with Hashem. It is as if he said 'I am like you' - "Ish k'Fi Mehalelo."

3.

Malbim: I am like your words to Kel. You requested that Hashem debate with you in a way that you can sense, and you will not be terrified of His grandeur or punishment. I am in place of Him.
