>>20485447>GOD SAYSBut Yahweh isn't God, lmao. He's just a son of the elohim (gods). If jews and Christians had been transparent about the fact that it's about some entity called Yahweh instead of something abstract like "God" or "The Lord" potential converts would have noticed a foreign religion was being proselytized, and it would have been suspicious.
The polytheist Israelites referred to the chief god of the pantheon as ʿelyôn "The Most High", one of the epithets of El seen in Gen 14:20 as “el ʿelyôn”.
Deuteronomy 32:8-9
>When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,>when he divided mankind,>he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of elohim (gods).>For YHWH’s portion is his people,>Yaʿăqōb is the allotment of his inheritance.In other words, Yahweh was one of these recipients of an inheritance from the highest god and Yahweh is a son of the gods. If an ancient Greek were to ask an ancient Israelite if Israel was chosen by God, he would say no, Israel was inherited by Yahweh and Greece was inherited by Zeus.
