The relationship between the God of Israel (Elohim) and the Canaanite god El is widely contested among scholars. I will examine the Kinite position as the biblical account of Yahweh's origins. There's much discussion about the Ugaritic traditions, the Baal Cycle and the comparable material in the Bible related to the cosmic enemies. Ba’al confronts four enemies with basically the same names in the Ugaritic carried over into Biblical material.
