    This sounds like the Bible is just clobbered together from other cultures beliefs by a ChatGPT… and I kinda wonder how that’d work out now.

      The two main sources of the bible are known as E and J. The Elohist and the Jahwist. The Elohist named so because in text believed to come from this school god is referred to as El or the plural Elohim(like a royal plural). In the Jahwist source god is referred to as Yahweh.

      Both El and Yahweh were gods in the Canaanite pantheon.

      It was. Noah’s ark, for example, was cribbed from the Epic of Gilgamesh.
