Yahweh actually entered the pantheon a little later than many of the other Canaanite deities. Unlike El, Baal, or Asherah (who are well documented at Ugarit), Yahweh seems to have been a southern regional god who eventually got adopted into the Canaanite divine structure, in the earliest layers of belief, Yahweh was seen as a son of El.
Here’s a complete profile for him in that original context
Yahweh (YHW / Yahu)
Storm God, Son of El (Later High God)
Domain (originally):
>Storms, war, protector of nomadic tribes, wilderness.
>Associated with mountains, storms, and divine vengeance or deliverance.
>Over time, he absorbed El’s role and became a universal creator god.
Origin:
>Early mentions of Yhw or Yahu appear in Egyptian texts from the Late Bronze Age (~14th–13th c. BCE), connected to Edom, Midian, Seir, and the southern deserts.
>These regions were outside the main Canaanite city-states. Yahweh was probably a tribal storm deity brought north.
Divine status:
>In early Israelite religion, Yahweh is one of the bene elohim (sons of El).
>Deuteronomy 32:8–9 (Dead Sea Scrolls version) explicitly shows:
“When Elyon (Most High) divided up the nations…
He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God (bene elohim).
>Yahweh’s portion was his people, Jacob his inheritance.”
This places Yahweh under the authority of El Elyon in the earliest theology.

Appearance:
Early Israelites likely saw Yahweh in the same visual way other Canaanite gods were imagined, not as a purely abstract being. The imagery of him riding on a cloud, appearing in storm and fire, and dwelling on a mountain all come from this period. It’s only later, during the Exilic and Second Temple periods, that Yahweh became the invisible, sole, all-powerful God.
Often envisioned like other West Semitic storm gods (similar to Baal):
>Young or middle-aged warrior, with a beard, wearing a horned crown or helmet.
>Holding a thunderbolt or spear, sometimes riding on clouds or storms.
>Depicted as standing on mountains, symbolizing authority and storm-bringing.
Later Hebrew texts describe him as invisible and enthroned in fire or clouds (e.g., Sinai theophany).
Symbols:
>Storm cloud, lightning bolt, mountain, fire, whirlwind.
>Bulls may also have been sacred to him in early cult (like El and Baal).
>Sacred mountains: Sinai, Seir, Paran.
Consort:
>Asherah, in early Israelite inscriptions.
>Inscriptions from Kuntillet ‘Ajrud (8th c. BCE) say:
“Blessed be you by Yahweh of Samaria and his Asherah.”
>This confirms Yahweh had a divine partner before later theology erased her.
Titles:
>“Yahweh of Hosts” (YHWH Tseva’ot) — Commander of divine armies.
>“Rider on the Clouds” (borrowed from Baal titles).
>“God of Israel” (after tribal adoption).
Transformation:
>Son of El: a storm god assigned to Israel.
>Supreme God of Israel: elevated above other gods.
>Fusion with El: Yahweh adopts El’s identity as “Most High.”
>Monotheism: other gods demoted to angels, demons, or erased entirely.

You don’t see how important this is? Proves Christianity to be false.

Anyone who needs that proved to them won't believe any amount of proof.
