Cult of the Ancestors - chapter 2

This is part 2 of The Ancient Gods of Israel mini series, where we analyze ancient texts to discover what the early people of Canaan and the nomadic people who occupied the hilly country adjacent to the neighboring Canaanites. What did they worship, who did they worship and why? In this episode we take a close look at the Ba'al and El deities within the Bible narrative itself, steles, and ancient inscriptions in Pagan cities that were occupied by the early Israelites who were worshipping an El Berith (God of the covenant) as well as a Baal Berith (Lord of the covenant in human form). What does this tell you as the language is the same for Yahweh in Israelite texts? Sources: Mark Smith's "Early history of God" Bernard Lamborelle's "An everlasting quid pro quo"
