Donald Redford has argued that Egyptian hieroglyphic records point to early worship of this deity by the bedouin Shasu tribe. Though worship of this deity’s consort was later suppressed, evidence for worship of that consort can be found in “sacred poles” with ibex symbols. (-5[1])The Kenite hypothesis traces the origin of worship of this deity, who is believed to have come from Mount Paran. Later syncretism of the storm god aspects of this deity with that of (*) Baal and similarities in titles with that of El has lent support (-5[1])to a Canaanite origin of this deity. This deity (10[1])of the Midianites, whose name can be translated as “He that is,” typically has their name written out as the (10[1])Tetragrammaton. For 10 points, name this deity that was central to an early monotheistic religion that arose in the Kingdom of Israel. ■END■ (10[1])
