I recall Yahweh being described as a storm god, but gods often wear many hats. Storms can affect harvests a great deal.
The version I heard he was a war god and killed the rest of his pantheon, then forbade his followers from even speaking of the other gods. This may have been modern fanfiction though, i've never gone back to figure out where I read that from.
I don't think that's from anything official, but it's a cool narrative to explain his ascension from polytheistic to monotheistic god! And it fits with how he acts in the bible.
Where’s Rick Riordan to novelize this!
I thought it was a water-source deity? At least 2 of us would make slightly worse christians lol.
Probably all of the above at one time or another.
I mean, literally all of you would be above par....
I saw that Yahweh could be a smith/fire god and became the most powerful deity because of the importance of the copper in the era.
