>>18702552I agree. The Septuagint is great because it endorses polytheism.
The Bible itself says that “the Most High” or the chief god (who was El in the Israelite pantheon) made a nation for each lesser diety who were his sons and that YHWH was one of these sons of the Most High. YHWH’s people were descended from Jacob (or Israel). In other words, the Bible says that each nation was appointed a diety, so if you’re not a Levantine sandnigger, YHWH is not your personal god. If you’re European, El did not appoint YHWH as your god. Septuagint variants and the Dead Sea Scrolls attest to this fact. The jewish Masoretic Text tried to hide this, because judaism has become a YHWH world domination cult.

>For YHWH’s[10] portion was his people;>Jacob[11] was the lot of his inheritance.[1] 4Q37 Deutʲ

a) the Most High.
b) supreme, highest in rank.
c) topmost, uppermost.
[3] A reference to the 70 nations in Genesis 10.
[4] אָדָם.
a) humankind.
b) the name of the first man.
[5] אֱלֹהִים (Elohim). Plural of אֱלוֹהַּ (Eloah—probably cognate with “Allah”).
a) gods, deities, the Divine Council, the Assembly of God, or El’s pantheon.
Introduced in Genesis 1:1.
Although a plural noun, “Elohim” often takes a singular verb, so it is likely to represent a unified collective. (e.g. “The team wins many games.” vs. “They win many games.” Genesis 1:26—“Then Elohim said, ‘Let US make mankind in OUR image[…]’ ”.)
El had a chief consort, Asherah/Aithirat, and 70 sons, which probably explains why the collective “Elohim” is frequently chosen over the simpler “El”.
