Did the God of the Bible begin as a Canaanite storm deity?

In this explosive episode, MythVision hosts Jacob Berman (History Valley) for a deep dive into one of the most controversial questions in biblical scholarship:

Was Yahweh originally Baal Hadad?

We explore:

- Ishkar / Hadad as storm god

- The 70 Sons of El

- Baal vs Yam myth parallels

- Yahweh and Leviathan

- Flood narratives before Genesis

- The Sabbath and the number seven

- Marduk absorbing older gods

- The Hyksos connection

- Anat-Yahu at Elephantine

- Did Yahweh “usurp” El’s throne?

Are we looking at:

- A foreign god infiltrating Israel?

- Or Baal rebranded as Yahweh?

This conversation examines textual evidence from Ugarit, Mesopotamia, Egypt, and the Hebrew Bible.

This isn’t polemic.
This is data.
