1376 El ENT_CAN_EL received_as Yahweh ENT_ISR_YAHWEH medium Ugaritic El's divine epithets (El Elyon, El Shaddai, El Olam) appear in Genesis 14:18–22, Exodus 6:3, and Genesis 21:33 as Yahweh's own names, active before the revelation of the name Yahweh. Cross 1973 pp. 1–75 demonstrates that Yahweh began as a southern storm-warrior deity who absorbed El's cosmic role as "father of years" (ʾab šnm), "creator of creatures" (bny bnwt), and head of the divine council (pḥr ʿIlm). The shared divine council (bene elim / Bene Elohim) structure confirms the absorption.
