Who is YHVH?

Gaza-Philistia coin that seems to depict the god as "Yhv" (Fontanille et al., 2023, p. 130 Type 1):

Back in 2019, I began a journey to understand the god of my religion better. I am a huge fan of prehistory, so I thought that I could use the methods that I learned researching prehistory in my free time to learn about the god of Christianity better. I was put on a lot of twists and turns, but I finally came to a clearer understanding of who this entity was. Unfortunately, it didn't match with what my religion, Roman Catholicism, said it was. I want to make a thorough investigation into the god of the Bible, which is why I created this post. This post contains a lot of information from my "The Demonic Deity Unveiled" post, but also more information that I find later on. 

Part 1: Who is YHVH?
1.1. YHVH (the Tetragrammaton):
The Tetragrammaton (Ortlepp, 2010, p. 41), or YHVH (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3068. Yhvh [Yehovah]) (Bible Hub, Strong’s Hebrew. 3069. Yhvh [Yehoveh]) comes in many forms: "Ya," "Yaw," "Yahu," and "Yah" (Langdon, 1931 [1964 reprint], p. 43) (Biglino, 2013, p. 63). From what I've found, it's also spelled as YHWH. There are also two main spellings of it: "YHW" and "YHWH." The spelling of the name as "YHW" is found on a Judean coin from the 4th century BC (399-300 BC) (Langdon, 1931 [1964 reprint], p. 43) (Hulster, n.d., What Did Yahweh Look Like?, para. 3; Judean Coin). YHW is also found on a "folded lead tablet" that contained a curse proclaimed by the god. The tablet dates back to the "Late Bronze Age II" (Stripling et al., 2023, Abstract; Paleographic analysis of the "Inner B" inscription). The date given by the authors is the middle-late 13th century BC (1250-1200 BC) (The archaeological context, para. 1-2). Langdon (1931 [1964 reprint]) said that YHW means "Yaw," and that the translation of the name as "Yahweh" or "Jehovah" never existed (p. 43).

According to Ortlepp (2011), the spelling of the name as "YHWH" is the proper one because it has been written the most. YHW, and even YH, are not the proper spelling. As for archeological finds, the spelling of the name can be seen on the Mesha stele, which dates to the 9th century BC (p. 41) (Biblical Archeology Society, 2013, para. 3). The Mesha stele is also called the Moabite stone (Biblical Archeology Society, 2013, Biblical Artifacts Found Outside the Trench: The Moabite Stone, para. 3). The stele/stone helped the tetragrammaton to be known by Israel's and Judah's neighbors (Drummond, 2023, para. 6). Interestingly, the Mesha stele is later (9th century BC) than the Late Bronze Age 2 tablet's spelling of the god's name (13th century BC)... 

An older spelling of the name, "YHW3," was found in Egypt from 1390-1352 BC. This form of the name is associated with a people called the Shasu (Fleming, 2020, Ch. 2 p. 23). It was found in a temple of Amun-Ra in Soleb (Kennedy, 2019, p. 175 and p. 176 Figure 1; pp. 183-184 Figures 5-6a). However, the spelling of the name could also be YHW (Najovits, 2003, p. 198) (D.M. Murdock/Acharya S, 2014, p. 186), or YHWA (Hen, 2021, p. 4). Kennedy (2019) said that YHWH was also spelled "I-H-W3-3," and Shasu was spelled "S3SW" (p. 177). Clarke (2005) spells YHWH as "IHUH" or "YHUH" (Ch. 2: Gods of the Individuation Process in Egypt). Massey (1907) also stated that the Tetragrammaton in Egyptian was IHUH (Vol. 1, pp. 498-499, and 519). "S3SW" and "YHW3" (IHW33) were also found at Amara from the early 13th century BC (1400 BC) (Kennedy, 2019, pp. 177 and 189). It seems that the tetragrammaton (YHVH, YHWH, YHW3, and IHW33) is older than YHW. The "3," or two commas, is Egyptian in origin (Hen, 2021, p. 4). It's unknown precisely what it sounded like, but comparing it to the Semitic dialect, it probably made an "R" and "J" sound (Peust, 1999, p. 127 [in Gottingen, 1999]).

As for trying to pronounce the name properly, nobody seems to know how to do that (Drummond, 2023, para. 4-5). However, given the fact that Israelites used this god's name in their own names (Ex.: Elijah, Jeremiah, etc.), then that might be a way of saying the name (para. 4). Using "Yaw" as inspiration, I'm assuming the pronunciation is "Jah/Iah." A very helpful tip comes from an Egyptian god named Iah (Hart, 2005, p. 77). Also spelled "Iu" in Egyptian, this god had the same name as YHWH as Iah (Massey, 1907 [2013 edition], Vol. 1, p. 501). Iah (pronounced "Yah") is also found in the Ars Goetia Corpus, a supposed magic book belonging to King Solomon (Karnas, 2020, Sayfa 5, Presentation). As for the "WH" in the name, or "W3," it seems that it was pronounced as "U" (Clarke, 2005, Ch. 2: Gods of the Individuation Process in Egypt):

Parke-Taylor (1975 [2006 edition]) said that several pronunciations have been put forth. YH was "IH," Egyptian for "moon," and WH was "one." The whole name in Egyptian was "Yah-We," but "Yah-Weh" in Semitic. This was put forth by Norman Walker. However, both Friedrich Delitzsch and John Allegro say that YHWH came from the Babylonian, and Akkadian, word "IA-U" (p. 49). Iah's name in Egyptian is also "IH" (Garcia-Fernandez, 2017, p. 222, Abstract). The Greek version of the name is IAO (Diodorus Sicullus, The Library of History, Book 1, Ch. 94, Section 2) (Massey, 1907 [2013 edition], Vol. 1, p. 506).

If IH (YH) is "Iah" (Garcia-Fernandez, 2017, p. 222, Abstract) (Massey, 1907, p. 498) and WH is "U" (Clarke, 2005) (Parke-Taylor, 1975 [2006 edition], p. 49 [Akkadian form of YHWH]). Therefore, the name could be spelled, and pronounced, as "Iahu." This was stated in Massey (1907) (Vol. 1, pp. 498-499). Another form of this is "Yahu" (Biglino, 2013, p. 63) (Romer, 2015, pp. 30 and 32) or Yaho (Romer, 2015, pp. 30-32). "Yah[u]" is in Isaiah's name, based on a bulla discovered with his name on it (Shuster, 2018, para. 6). It seems that the Egyptian form of the Tetragrammaton is IHW33, while the Hebrew version of the name is YHW3/YHWH. 

However, after looking at the Soleb inscription of the Tetragrammaton myself, and after spending weeks trying to read Egyptian hieroglyphs and learn Hebrew, it seems that the Egyptian Tetragrammaton is actually "YH3U," "YH3W," or "YH3O." 

Egyptian Tetragrammaton inscription from the Amon-Ra temple in Soleb (Kennedy, 2019, p. 183 Figure 5):

Using Figure 5 from Kennedy (2019), the hieroglyphs are two reeds, a house, a vulture (although Titus said this was a hawk [p. 184]), and a rope that looks like a noose. The two reeds are either "i" or "y," the house is an "h," the vulture is a "3" (two commas) or an "a," and the lasso (noose) is either "ua" or "o" (Budge, 1920 [2010 edition], Vol. 1, pp. xi, xiii, xxvi, xliv, 1ix-lxi, cxxii, 144, 438, and 592) (Frazer, 2012, pp. 64, 69-70, and 81) (University of Memphis, Institute of Egyptian Art and Archeology: Events: Write Your Name in Hieroglyphs) (Australian Museum, Documents: Egyptian Hieroglyphs). Based on most of my sources, it seems that the lasso is an "o." 

Egyptian lasso hieroglyph (Frazer, 2012, p. 81):

Rope (lasso) hieroglyph (Australian Museum, Documents: Egyptian Hieroglyphs):

Egyptian alphabet hieroglyphs (University of Memphis, Institute of Egyptian Art and Archeology: Events: Write Your Name in Hieroglyphs):

We read hieroglyphs from top-to-bottom. The hieroglyph figures are also facing the right in the Soleb inscription, so we need to read from right-to-left. So it's top-to-bottom, right-to-left (Glassgolife, How to read Egyptian hieroglyphs) (Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Lesson 1). At first, I got "YH3O" or "YHAO." After re-reading Kennedy (2019), it's suppose to be YHO3 because the falcon (vulture) is the last hieroglyph (p. 184). The lasso is slightly above the vulture, and directly underneath the house. This gives us YHO3/YHOA instead of YH3O/YHOA. It made sense to me after I saw a similar example from the Egyptian Hieroglyphs website using the name Amun (imn) (Egyptian Hieroglyphs, Egyptian Hieroglyphs: Lesson 1):

Now, the vulture hieroglyph ("3"/"a") is a glottal stop in ancient Egyptian. A modern example is saying "thro'le" in English instead of "throttle" (don't say the "t" sound) (Zauzich and Roth, 1992, p. 10) (McDermott, 2001 [2016 edition], p. 22). Therefore, pronouncing the Egyptian Tetragrammaton would be something like "YHO'." The "y" in the Egyptian language sounded like "ee" (Frazer, 2012, p. 69), so the sound would've been "EEHO'." 

As for the Hebrew Tetragrammaton, the ancient Jewish writer Josephus said that the Tetragrammaton consisted of "four vowels" (Josephus, Jewish War, Book 5, Ch. 5, Section 7). I've read various ways to try and pronounced the Tetragrammaton, but I think I've found my own way to pronounce it. Hebrew is read from left-to-right (Clarke, 2005, Ch. 2: Gods of the Individuation Process in Egypt). First, I using the words "Jews" and "Judah" for help. The hei (H) in both words are either silent, or help the yod (Y). In Hebrew, the word "Jewish" or "Jews" is "Yehudi." However, the "Ye-" (yod with a vowel underneath it) is "Je-," and the "-u" is the hei plus the vav with a vowel on the left side of it. However, the word in English is "Jews" (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew. 3064. Yehudi). In Hebrew, the word "Judah" is Yehudah. The "Yehu-" part is the same as in Yehudi/Jews, but comes out as "Ju-" in English for Judah. The last hei is connected to a letter with a vowel underneath it in Yehudah (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew. 3063. Yehudah), so the hei would probably show in the Hebrew Tetragrammaton. 

Tetragrammaton (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3068. Yhvh ["Yehovah"]):

Yehudi (Jewish/Jews) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3064. Yehudi):

Yehudah (Judah) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3063. Yehudah):

Notice how Yehudi and Yehudah have the Hebrew letters yod, hei, and vav, in them. These are the first three words in the Tetragrammaton (Yhvh). 

Just when I thought that the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton was "Yehuh," the name Ea throws a monkey wrench into this idea. Margoliouth (1868) said that Ea, Sin/Nannar, and the god Aa/Ya, are El Elyon and Yahweh (in The Contemporary Review, Vol. 74, pp. 586-589). In fact, "The name Yahweh" was "lengthened, as archaeologists rightfully think, from Aa or Ya," (p. 587). Jensen (1890) said that Ea was also spelled as "Ia" (p. 271 [German]). Cook (1914) said that the name Iao comes from the name Ea/Eau, also spelled Iau, and is Ea (Vol. 1, p. 188 note 2; p. 228). Iao "corresponds to the Ju in Jupiter, and the Iac in Iacchus (Dionysus)," (Bennett, 1880, p. 523). Clay (1923) said that "the pronunciation of" Ea "is certainly very close to Jah," (p. 102). In Exodus 3:14, Yhvh told Moses "Ehyeh asher ehyeh" (Bible Hub, Exodus 3:14 [Interlinear]). Rossel (2007) said that Ehyeh is a name for God (p. 87). The Jewish letters yod and hei for "yeh," which are the first two letters of Yhvh (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3068. Yhvh), are in Ehyeh (Bible Hub, Exodus 3:14 [Interlinear]). Kitz (2018) said that Yhwh and Enki/Ea got their names from the root words "hwy" and "hyy," pronounced "haya and/or haway." "Hwy" for Yhwh means "to be," and "hyy" for Ea means "to live" (Abstract). Kitz also said that Ea's name is "a Stative third person masculine singular verb." It can be spelled as haya, hayay, hawa, haway, yahwa, yahayya, among others (p. 212). The spelling of the name as yahway is "attested in the Egyptian Shasu texts, the earliest form which dates to ca. 1388-1351 (B.C.)." It's also in the later "epithet yahwe sebaot," (p. 214). Rossel (2007) said that YHVH, and Ehyeh, have the same root word that means '''to be' or 'to exist'" (p. 87). Ehyeh is actually the word hayah (Bible Hub, Exodus 3:14 [Interlinear]) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 1961. hayah), and the letters yod and hei are in hayah too (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 1961. hayah).  

Espak (2006) said that the "'e" in Ea originated in the proto-Akkadian language as "ha." Then, it turned into "'a." Finally, "'a" turned into '''e." In total, Ea would've been pronounced as "ha-a" in Akkadian originally, and then the name turned into "Ea" (2.2.1 [pp. 1-2]). Ha-a looks like the word hayah. Espak also said that the root word for Ea is, at best, "*hyy" (2.2.1 [p. 3]). Deitrich and Loretz (1999) said that the name Ea, according to E. Lipinski, is written as "Hyn" in Ugaritic literature. This would render the name as "Hayan or Heyan." Lipinski also said that the "sound 'e" was turned into "'a for a |ha|." This would turn the original spelling of the name "'E-a-an (or similar) to Hyn," (in Dietrich and Loretz, 1999 [2000 edition], Vol. 31 pp. 165 and 168). Dietrich and Loretz said that, outside of Ugaritic poetry, the name Ea has "the initial vocal sound of the name with the laryngeal stop (Alif)," (p. 169). This brings us back to Exodus 3:14. For the word Ehyeh, there is an alef (the letter "a") (Jewish Virtual Library, The Hebrew Alphabet [Aleph-Bet]) in front of the word hayah. This would translate into "'Ahayah" (or "Aahayah") (Exodus 3:14 [Interlinear]):

This would make 'Ahayah the Israelite spelling of the name Ea.

It's inescapable to me now that Yhvh is actually the name of Ea. Ea was the original "supreme god" of the first "primeval form of faith." He was later split into different deities. The monotheistic faith of Ea-Ya-Yahweh survived though, mainly through the Hebrews (Margoliouth, 1868; in The Contemporary Review, Vol. 74, p. 592). 

The root word for Yhvh is havah (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3068. Yhvh, NAS Exhaustive Concordance):

Havah means "to become," (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 1933b. havah):

Havah is actually spelled "hava'" (or havaa) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 1933. hava'):

The alef is silent (Jewish Virtual Library, The Hebrew Alphabet [Aleph-Bet]) (Jewfaq, The Hebrew Alphabet), so that seems to be why there's an apostrophe in place of it.

With hayah, the yod and hei spell "yah" (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 1961. hayah):

Both hayah, and havah, mean "to become" (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 1961. hayah) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 1933b. havah). It seems that "hwy" from Kitz (2018) could be havah, while hyy is hayah.

As for yod and hei in the Tetragrammaton, it spelled out "Yah," (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3050. Yah):

Yah is the "contrasted form of" the Tetragrammaton (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3050. Yah, Strong's Lexicon: Word Origin). 

Taking everything together, the Tetragrammaton comes out as "Yahavah." 

The final "h" in Yhvh could be a "'matres lectionis'" for the final vowel, and it might've been silent. Its purpose would be to make the vowel that was before it short (Ortlepp, 2010, pp. 146-147):

According to Garrett and DeRouchie (2009 [2019 edition]), the mater (matres) lectionis "does not count as a consonant or close a syllable," but "is simply a vowel," (Ch. 2: Pointed Vowel Letters and the Silent Shewa, E. The Basics of Syllable Division):

Joshua, spelled Yehoshua (or Yehoshua') in Hebrew, has yod, hei, and vav, in it. The name originated "from Yhvh and yasha" (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3091. Yehoshua [Yehoshua'], Strong's Concordance; NAS Exhaustive Concordance):

With our new spelling of Yhvh, it seems that Joshua could've been spelled as Yahavashua' (or Yahavashuaa). 

The Jews would've named themselves after their god, leading to the creation of the name "Jew." Clarke (2005) stated this as well (Ch. 2: Gods of the Individuation Process in Egypt). Interestingly, there is no letter for w in the Hebrew language. The vav is a "v," or an "o," or an "u."

Hebrew alphabet (Jewish Virtual Library, The Hebrew Alphabet [Aleph-Bet]):

Hebrew alphabet (Jewfaq, The Hebrew Alphabet):

This also helps to support hwy being havah instead of "haway."

Rev. Taylor (1833) said that "JEUE" means Jew when "pronounced as one syllable," and when the word "Pater, or father," is added, we get Jupiter. The name Jehovah comes from Jupiter, but Rev. Taylor says that Jehovah is an incorrect pronunciation. Jeue is also spelled as Jeve, and eventually became Jove. The name Jove is replaced with Dominus ("Lord") in the "liturgical Latin of the Psalms" and "the Latin Bibles of Dathe and Castalio," (pp. 340-341):

The full name of the Hebrew god would be Yahavah Pater, also called Jove Pater-Jupiter! Interestingly, according to Drummond and Walpole (1810), the spelling of the name as "Jao-pater, or Jeu-pater" was "corrupted into Jupiter." They also stated that "Ion, Io, Iao, and O" were "the root of the Latin Janus, Jovis, and Jupiter," and they "are all taken from the name of Jehovah," (p. 62): 

However, the Jews just called him by the first part of his name (Yahavah). Rev. Taylor said that Pater is sometimes dropped from the name (p. 341). Massey (1907) said that the "Jews of Cornwall" were "the prehistoric Jews who are to be known by the name of the god they worshipped," (Vol. 1, p. 501). The Jews named themselves after their god, which means that the Tetragrammaton was pronounced similarly to the word "Jew." I'm going with Yahavah (Yahavah Pater).

YHWH is typically spelled as "Yahweh", and "Jehovah" (Langdon, 1931 [1964 reprint], p. 43) (Tice, 1997 [2007 edition], pp. 5 and 7) (Hulster, n.d., What Did Yahweh Look Like?, para. 3; Judean Coin). However, Yahweh and Jehovah "never existed," according to Langston (1931 [1964 reprint]). Yaw/Yah was extended to be "Yahweh." The vowels from the word "Adonai" were put on the name, and that's how we get "Jehovah" (pp. 42-43). Romer (2015) said that Yahweh has a "more recent origin than 'Yaho' or 'Yahu'," (p. 32). In the Tanakh ("Old Testament"), Yahavah's name is usually translated as "I am who I am" (Exodus 3:14 [NASB]), or "ehyeh asher ehyeh" in Hebrew (Bible Hub, Exodus 3:14 [Interlinear]). As stated before, ehyeh means "I am" and ehyeh is Ea. He is also called "The LORD" and "The Lord God" (Jeremiah 1 footnote a [NASB]). However, Paul Tice says that Jehovah was an angel called Sabaoth (Tice, 1997 [2007 edition], p. 15). Sabaoth means "Lord of Hosts" (1 Samuel 4:4 [BSB]), or "Lord of Armies" (1 Samuel 4:4 [NASB]) (Zechariah 13:2 and 7 [NASB]). Jehovah was a cherubim, also known as "shining ones," and they were led by the angel Gabriel. Jehovah had the same power, or status, as Gabriel, due to being in the middle/above the cherubim (Tice, 1997 [2007 edition], p. 15) (1 Samuel 4:4 [BSB and NASB]). Another name for Jehovah is Samael, which means "blind god" (Tice, 1997 [2007 edition], p. 51). Samael is a particularly dangerous equation because he is Satan in Judaism (Jewish Virtual Library, Samael)! Samael is also the name of Yaldabaoth in the Gnostic text The Apocryphon of John. What's also scary about this is that Yaldabaoth, in the text, does everything that Yahavah does in the Tanakh. However, Yaldabaoth is also the bad guy in the text! 

Here's the creation story according to The Apocryphon of John:

God the Father, the Invisible Spirit and first aeon, created the goddess/second aeon Barbelo, who was His first thought/deed and the image of the Father. Barbelo is the "womb of the everything," "the Mother-Father," "the thrice powerful" and "thrice-named androgynous one," etc. Together, the Father and Barbelo create Christ, "an only-begotten child of the Mother-Father which had come forth" and the "Autogenes." Christ was put in charge of overseeing everything. That's the best way that I can describe this story so far!

As for Sophia, also called "Sophia of Epinoia," she is an aeon and created Yaldabaoth without the help of the Father or her male consort. Yaltabaoth is an archon (I'm guessing that archons are bad guys), and he stole power from Sophia. Yaltabaoth is also called Saklas, and Samael. Yaltabaoth used Sophia's powers to create a bunch of beings: angels, demons, etc. In order to get her powers back, Sophia went to the Father. He told Yaltabaoth to create something, which turns out to be man (Adam), and Yaltabaoth lost Sophia's powers as a result. The Father sent Epinoia, also called Life (Eve!), to be Adam's helper. Eve is Sophia! She became Adam's helper, since her power is now in Adam. She also took on the bodily form of a woman (I think the Father did this). Sophia is mankind's helper in this text.

As stated before, Cook (1914) said that the name Iao comes from the name Ea/Eau, also spelled Iau. Iao is also spelled "Iaw," and it is the Greek translation of the Tetragrammaton (The New International Encyclopaedia [Second Edition], 1915, Vol. 12 p. 625) (Vasileiades and Gordon, 2021, Figures 5-6). This is confirmed by Iao being in "The Aramaic papyri from the Jews at Elephantine," and the Septuagint 

translation "of Leviticus among the Dead Sea scrolls, 4Q120, dating probably from the first century AD," (pp. 115-116). The fragment 4Q120 can be seen in Vasileiades and Gordon (2021) (Figure 6). The Greek "w," called omega, was pronounced "o" with a line above it (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Greek Alphabet). Sophocles (1854) said that omega was pronounced "oh, or French eau in beau," (pp. 50 and 60). Professor Muntz from the University of Arkhansas said that omega was "pronounced like the o in ode." Omega was also "always long" (University of Arkansas, The Bibliotheke, Greek Alphabet and Pronunciation, 2011). The name Ea was also spelled as "Aos" (Langdon, 1918, p. 434) (Coulter and Turner, 2000 [2021 edition], p. 161), which looks similar to Iao. Iao, or Iau according to Clemens, is "a God of the Sun and Fire, there seems to be no doubt." Other spellings of the name are "the Sumerian Iabe," Iahveh, Iaau which is also Iahav and Iahaveh (Bunsen, 1860, Vol. 4 p. 193 note 23; p. 194). "Iahav" is Yahav (Yhv), and "Iahaveh" is very close to Yahavah. Zeus was called Iw/Io, Kouros the son of Kronos, and was the leader of daimones (Kershaw, 1997, pp. 160-161). Cook (1914) stated that, in 168 B.C., Antiochus IV Epiphanes "transformed the temple of Jerusalem into a temple of Zeus Olympios." The name Iao/Iaw was also associated with Zeus. An Egyptian incantation, associates Zeus with Iao as "Zeus Iao," (Vol. 1, p. 233). The oracle of Apollon Klarios described Iao (Yahavah-Ea) as "the greatest of all gods." It said that Iao was Zeus in the Spring, Helios in the summer, Iao in the autumn, and Hades in the winter (p. 234).

Litwa (2019) said that the Phibionite Christian sect listed Iao as the moon, and Sabaoth (who represents the Jewish Sabbath) was Saturn. Jupiter is the sixth planet, which is ruled by Yaldabaoth. This would make Zeus and Yaldabaoth the same deity (p. 34; Figure 1.4):

Epiphaneus is the source of this chart, but said that Yaldabaoth and Sabaoth are interchangeable in their positions (Panarion, Book 1 Section 2 Number 26, 10.1-10.3 [Williams, 2009 translation, p. 98]). This would make Iao (Yahavah) the moon god, and Yaldabaoth and/or Sabaoth the god of Saturn. 

Phibionite demons (Epiphanaeus, Panarion. Book 1 Section 2 Number 26. 10.1-10.3 [Williams, 2009 translation, p. 98]):

Yahweh (Yahavah) was equated to Iao. According to the scholar Dr. David H. Kelley, Iao was a "'syncretism of Hebrew Yahweh with Egyptian ideas of a supreme creator, himself a syncretism of ancient Egyptian concepts with Hellenized Greek ideas,'" (Murdock, 2014, p. 433). 

In summation, YHVH (the Tetragrammaton) should be translated as Yahavah at best. The short form is Yah. Another version of the name is 'Ahayah (Aahayah). 

Surprisingly, translating YHVH as Yahavah isn't a new phenomenon. It's been going on for about a hundred-and-a-half years. Bowen (1868) translated Jehovah as Yahavah. He also said the word Ahava ('Ahayah?), which is a river in Babylon, was named after Hea (Ea). Bowen also stated that the original spelling of Yahavah's name was Iah, or Jah. The name was lengthened later on (into Yahavah), just like El's name was (in Morse and Marvin, 1868, Vol. 3 p. 84). 

Update (5/7/25):
I noticed something. In the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of Yhvh, it said that the Tetragrammaton came "From hayah." However, in the NAS Exhaustive Concordance, it said that the origin of the name came "from havah," (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew: 3068. Yhvh):

So, the translation of the name could be Yahavah, or... Actually, I don't really know what the name could be using hayah. I believe that the first part is "Yah-" using hayah, but I don't know what the "-vh" could be. It would definitely mean that Ea, 'Ahayah in Exodus 3:14, and Yhvh, are the same name since hayah is the root word for Ea's name and 'Ahayah. On the other hand, I think I found a solution to this problem.

I've decided to learn Paleo-Hebrew. Well, technically it's Phoenician but the Phoenician alphabet is the Semitic alphabet (Brown University, Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World, Archaeologies of the Greek Past: Alphabet [Early Greek]). Arabic, and Hebrew, are Semitic languages too (Daggumati and Revesz, 2023, p. 15 [5. Discussion of the Results]). Interestingly, the Greek alphabet also came from the Phoenician alphabet (Healey, 1990, p. 39) (Daggumati and Revesz, 2023, p. 9 [4. Experimental Results]; p. 14 [5. Discussion of the Results]; Figures 16-18), or from the "North Semitic script in the 8th century BCE," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Greek alphabet, para. 1). I've decided to use both the Phoenician, and Greek, alphabets to guess what the Tetragrammaton could've been. 

Classic Greek alphabet (Healey, 1990, p. 39):

Phoenician and Greek alphabet (Bourogiannis, 2018, Figure 1):

Phoenician and Greek alphabet (Daggumati and Revesz, 2023, Table 2):

Egyptian, Semitic/Phoenician, Greek, Roman, and Hebrew, alphabets (Brown University, Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World, Archaeologies of the Greek Past: Alphabet [Early Greek]):

Greek alphabet (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Greek alphabet):

Using the sources that I have, the yod is an "i"/iota in Greek. The hei is an "e"/epsilon. Finally, the vav (or waw) is either an "u"/upsilon, or a "f"/digamma. For the Tetragrammaton, I think the upsilon works better. The Tetragrammaton would thus be "Ieue." I'm guessing that it was pronounced "I-u." The "-ue" probably sounded like the "-ue" in the words "hue," or "Sue." Rev Taylor (1833) also stated that Jeue (Ieue) was pronounced "Jew" (pp. 340-341). In the Greek Septuagint translation of Jeremiah 23:6, Yhvh tsedek (Hebrew Interlinear) is spelled as "Iwsedek/Josedek" (Io sedek) in Greek (Septuagint, Jeremiah 23:6 [Ellopos]) (The Orthodox Churchman's Magazine, 1802, Vol. 2 p. 375 [Sacred Criticism]). The spelling of Yhvh as Ieuw (Ieuo) was another Greek spelling found in Sanchoniatho's book Phoenician History (Sanchoniatho, Phoenician History [Rev. Cumberland, 1720, translation], p. 10) (The Orthodox Churchman's Magazine, 1802, Vol. 2 p. 374 [Sacred Criticism]) (D.M. Murdock/Acharya S, 2014, pp. 430-431). We already know that Iaw/Iao is in a fragment from the Septuagint translation of Leviticus. Iw/Io and Iaw/Iao, are extremely similar to the Egyptian Yho', and Ieuw/Ieuo is basically Ieue. We're on the right track here! "Ieu" is also in the name "Judah," spelled "Yehudah" in the modern Jewish language. I think it would be spelled as "Ieude," using our new technique. Havah would be spelled as "Eue" (pronounced "E-u"). Hayah would be spelled as "Eie" (pronounced "E-i"). 'Ahayah would be spelled as "Aeie" (pronounced "A-i"). Since the "a"/aleph is not pronounced, it would be spelled as "'Eie" and pronounced as "E-i." That's very close to Ea! So far, this is a very consistent method. As for 'Al (El/Enlil), his name would be spelled as Al. Properly, the name would be spelled as 'l (pronounce just the "L"). 

Speaking of the Egyptian Tetragrammaton, it could've been Ieo' (Ieoa), using our new system and Brown University. This is very close to the Greek Iaw (Iao) and Iw (Io). 

I'm not the first person to say that Ieue is the true spelling of Yhvh (Rev. Taylor, 1833, p. 187) (Higgins, 1878, Vol. 1 pp. 459 and 461) (D.M. Murdock/Acharya S, 2014, p. 291). I'm going to stick with this method from now on. Finally, in his 2023 preprint, Maranz (2023) said that Ea is Aeie and Yahweh is Ieue, Yahweh is Ea, Ea is in Exodus 3:14, that "'I3.A" is Ea or Yah, and that the Jews chose Ea while in Babylonian captivity because he helped Ziusudra-Atrahasis-Noah (pp. 16-18, 22-23, 28, and 35). This solidifies Ea and Ieue as the same deity.

In summation:

1.) Yhvh is Ieue. It was probably pronounced "I-u."
2.) Ahyh ('Ahayah) is Aeie (Ea), and spelled as 'eie. It was probably pronounced "E-i."
3.) Yhvdh (Judah/Yehudah) is Ieude. It was probably pronounced "I-u-de."

1.2. What did Ieue look like?
Now that we have an idea as to what the name Yhvh is, we should now as the question: What did Ieue look like? At best, I've found at least five images of Ieue that tell us what he looked like. When we discuss the god Ea (Ieue's/'eie's Akkadian name), we will have a definite profile of what this entity looked like. 

The first piece of evidence is a silver Judean coin from the 4th century B.C. It depicts the deity with the name "Yehud"/"yhd" (Hulster, n.d., What Did Yahweh Look Like?, para. 3; Judean Coin). Langdon (1931 [1964 reprint]) said that the name is "YHW," which means "Yaw" (p. 43). Cook (1914) also says the three words are "YHW" (Vol. 1 p. 232). It would be "YHV," using the modern spelling of the name. This would be "Ieu." Interestingly, Yahav is depicted as a man with a beard and a robe, and is seated on a wheel. Either Ieu has wings, or the wheel has wings (Hulster, n.d., What Did Yahweh Look Like?, para. 3; Judean Coin). Both Langdon and Cook say that it's a winged wheel (Langdton, 1931 [1964 reprint], p. 43) (Cook, 1914, Vol. 1 p. 232). There is also a falcon, (Hulster, n.d., What Did Yahweh Look Like?, para. 3), or a hawk (Langdton, 1931 [1964 reprint], p. 43), or an eagle/hawk (Cook, 1914, Vol. 1, p. 232), sitting on Ieu's arm.

Fontanille et al., (2023) gives a very descriptive history of the interpretation of the inscription on the coin. The coin was "reportedly found in Gaza," (p. 148). Originally, it was confirmed to have been "YHW." However, scholarship has tried to prove that the letters are "YHD" instead. The most recent decision on the lettering declares that the letters could've been either YHW, or YHD (pp. 130-131). As for where it was made, Fontanille et al. said that it was made in Philistia. However, other authors state that it was made in Judah (pp. 131, 140, and 148). Fontanille et al. said that the bird was a "hawk or a falcon," (pp. 143 and 145). The dating of the coin seems to be anywhere from the "late fifth century BCE," to 361 B.C. (pp. 136-137). Finally, the authors say that, although the deity on the coin could be "other celestial gods," the deity is "consistent with the nature of Yahweh," (pp. 145-146). The Philistian authors of the coin probably based their design of the deity on their own god Baal Shamen. Both Yahweh (Ieue), and Baal Shamen, shared "celestial and solar attributes, so that they were essentially indistinguishable as implied by their similar epithets." Zeus Olympios was also "identified with Baal Shamen." Yahweh (Ieue) was equated to Baal Shamen in Samaria during "the time of King Ahab," and "by the Yahwists in Elephantine." Baal Shamen is also in the "Aramaic Ahiqar" version of Proverb 13 (p. 148). 

Yehud (yhd) Judean Coin (Hulster, n.d., What Did Yahweh Look Like?, Judean Coin):

Description of coin (para. 3):

Description of coin (Judean Coin):

Langston (1931 [1964 reprint])'s description of the coin (p. 43):

Gaza-Philistia coin that seems to depict Yhv (Ieu) or Yhd (Fontanille et al., 2023, p. 130 Type 1):

Cook (1914) says that the winged wheel is associated with Dionysus (Vol. 1 p. 216), and "a bearded god enthroned with an eagle on his hand is a common art-type of Zeus." The winged wheel is a symbol of the sun as well, which would make the Judean coin depicting Ieu as a "solar Zeus," (p. 232). Langdon said that the coin depicts Ieu as a sun god (Langdon, 1931 [1964 reprint], p. 44).

Dionysus on a winged wheel (Cook, 1914, Vol. 1, p. 216, Figure 159):

Fontanille et al., (2023) said that the Gaza-Philistia coin doesn't equate Ieue to Dionysus (pp. 135-136). They did state that the whinged wheel was similar to the "winged car of the "Eleusinian grain god Triptolemus as depicted on Attic red-figure vases of the fifth century BCE and in other media," (p. 133).

Triptolemos in his "winged car" (500-480 B.C.) (Fontanille et al., 2023, p. 133 Figure 4.4a):

They authors also said that the deity on the Gaza-Philistia coin better relates to "Zeus aetophoros and his counterparts," (pp. 136 and 146). 

Zeus aetophoros coin from Mazaeus, Tarsus (361-334 B.C.) (Fontanille et al., 2023, p. 136 Figure 4.6):

As stated before, Cook (1914) said that the name Iao comes from the name Ea/Eau, also spelled Iau. Iao is also spelled "Iaw," and it is the Greek translation of the Tetragrammaton (The New International Encyclopaedia [Second Edition], 1915, Vol. 12 p. 625) (Vasileiades and Gordon, 2021, Figures 5-6). This is confirmed by Iao being in "The Aramaic papyri from the Jews at Elephantine," and the Septuagint 

translation "of Leviticus among the Dead Sea scrolls, 4Q120, dating probably from the first century AD," (van Kooten, 2006; in van Kooten, 2006, pp. 115-116). The fragment 4Q120 can be seen in Vasileiades and Gordon (2021) (Figure 6):

The second image of Ieue is an "onyx" (coin) depicting a beardless Zeus with a thunderbolt in his outstretched hand, and an eagle near his feet. The god has has the names "Iao Sabao[th]" (Iaw Cabaw) on the back of it (Cook, 1914, Vol. 1 p. 235).

Iao Sabao(th) (Iaw Cabaw) onyx/coin (Cook, 1914, Vol. 1 p. 235 Figure 172):

As noted before, one of Ieue's names in the Tanakh/Old Testament is Sabaoth. We can also see this in Jeremiah 46:10. 

Tsebaoth (Sabaoth) as one of Ieue's names (Jeremiah 46:10 [NOG]):

Sabaoth is actually the word "Tsaba" (Bible Hub. Strong's Hebrew. 6635. Tsaba):

The third depiction of Ieue comes from a coin from "the Persian period" of Gaza. It depicts Yaw (Ieu) and the goddess "'Ashtart-'Anat" (Astarte-Anat) together (called "'Ashtart-Yaw'" by Langdon) (Langdon, 1931 [1964 reprint], p. 44 Figure 24):

Ieu here looks similar to the Gaza-Philistia coin depiction of him. Interestingly, Langdon said that the coin depicts a deity that is both male and female (p. 44). 

The fourth depiction of Ieue shows him as a winged sun disk. Taylor (1993) said that solar worship was conducted by the Israelites (Synopsis; Ch. 1, Introduction, p. 19). Archaeological evidence includes sun emblems with "lmlk" on Judean jar handles. The emblems are a sun disk with two wings, and a "four-winged scarab." In the Tanakh, Ieue is called "semes," which means "sun." This is in Psalm 84 (p. 20). Taylor believes that there is a close relationship between Ieue and the sun, even so that Ieue might even have been the sun itself (p. 22). Fontanille et al., (2023) shows one of the Judean jar handles with "lmlk" on it. It dates to the "late eighth century BCE." The double winged disk "probably represented Yahweh as the patron god of the ruling dynasty." Judah "was subject to the Assyrian empire," so the Assyrians were more-than-likely the source of the winged disk (p. 138).

Judean jar handle depicting Ieue as a winged solar disk with "lmlk" inscribed on it (8th century B.C.) (Fontanille et al., 2023, p. 138 Figure 4.9):

"LMLK" means "to Molech" in 2 Kings 23:10 (Interlinear):

Psalm 84:11 states that "the LORD God (Yhvh Elohim/Ieue 'leim) is a sun and a shield," (Interlinear):

The bullae/seals of Isaiah and the Judahite King Hezekiah were discovered at the Temple Mount (old Jewish 2nd temple) (Ngo, 2018, para. 1-3) (Shuster, 2018, para. 2). On Hezekiah's bulla/seal, the symbol of "a two-winged sun disk flanked by ankh symbols" are shown (Ngo, 2018, para. 3) (Shuster, 2018).

King Hezekiah's (left) and Isaiah's (right) bullae/seals (Ngo, 2018):

A fifth depiction of Ieue is on the "magical gem; intaglio" gem from the British Museum. It depicts Seth with the name "Iaw" (Iao) underneath his left arm. Seth is holding an ankh in his right hand, and a "staff and flail" in his left hand. There are also two "six-ray" stars, and a "crescent" moon, surrounding Seth. There are also four archangels inscribed on the gem as well: Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Suriel (British Museum, magical gem; intaglio, Description; Inscriptions) (Litwa, 2019, pp. 31-32; p. 32 Figure 1.2). Litwa (2019) said that the gem depicts "Seth-Yahweh," (p. 32 Figure 1.2). This gem dates to the third century A.D. (British Museum, magical gem; intaglio, Production date). The six-pointed star equates Seth-Iao to Saturn.

Gem from Litwa (2019) (P. 32 Figure 1.2):

From what we have, we can see that Ieue was depicted as Zeus (and probably Dionysus), as Seth, and as a winged sun disk. As I said previously, Ea will give us a clearer picture as to what Ieue looked like. We're going to talk about him right now.

1.3. Ea.

Ea on the Adda Seal (The British Museum, cylinder seal [the Adda seal]):

The full seal:

Ea is the second male deity from the right with the eagle/Zu bird on his right arm, the bull in between his legs, and the streams of water with fish coming out of his body (The British Museum, cylinder seal [the Adda seal], Description).

Ea, also called Enki (which means "lord of the earth"), is the "lord of the earth," and the "god of water" or "fresh waters beneath the earth," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Ea). Ea was also spelled "Hea" (Smith, 1876, pp. 52-53), and "Eau-l'Eau" (Cook, 1914, Vol. 1 p. 188 note 2) (Espak, 2006, 2.2.1 [p. 1], note 136 [translated from French]). Enki is his Sumerian name (Kramer and Maier, 1989 [2020 edition], p. 10) (Espak, 2006, 2.1) (Darshan, 2023, p. 104), and Ea is his Semitic or Semitic Akkadian name (Kramer and Maier, 1989 [2020 edition], pp. 4 and 10) (Espak, 2006, 2.2, 2.2.3 [p. 2], and 2.3 [pp. 2-3]) (Darshan, 2023, p. 104). On the An=Anum list, a list of Sumerian deities, Enki and Ea are equated to Ea (Litke, 1998; from Hallo, 1998, Vol. 3 pp. 83 and 87). I'm going to call him Ea for now on.

As stated previously, both Ieue and Ea have the same etymological root word in their names: hayah or havah (Eie or Eue). Ea is also not the only way to spell this deity's name. According to Yakubovick (2010), Ea's name is also spelled as "Iya" on the Karatepe inscriptions. Ea's name is spelled as "i-ia-sa," or "i-ia" in the inscriptions (in Cohen et al., 2010, pp. 391, 393-394). 

Karatepe inscriptions (Yakubovick, 2010; in Cohen et al., 2010, pp. 391):

The name "I-ia" would come out as Ia. I used the the An = Anum list to come to this conclusion (Lambert and Winters, 2023 [in George and Krebernik, 2023]). Thus, another spelling of the name Ea is Ia. Earlier authors have stated that Ea was also spelled as Ia. Hommel (1899) said that Ea was Ia, "the Western Semitic creator of the world and god of heaven," (in Hastings, 1899, Vol. 10 p. 48). Cook (1914) said that Iao, or Iau, is Ea. Ea was also spelled as Eau (Vol. 1 p. 188 note 2):

Bottero (1992) said that Ea's name has been translated as "Aia, or perhaps Ia/Ia'u (Ebla)" as well (p. 234). Eau/Iau/Ia'u looks like Ieue, and Aia looks like Aeie ('eie). Ea's Israelite name is 'eie (Aeie), while his Jewish name is Ieue. 

As to what Ea looked like, we have the Adda seal (see above) (The British Museum, cylinder seal [the Adda seal]). This is definitive proof of what the biblical god looked like. Notice how Ea is with the eagle/Zu bird just like Ieu-Iao and Zeus are with the eagle/hawk or falcon, as we've just seen. Another depiction of Ea comes from The Enthroned Enki relief. Ea is depicted seated with the goat-fish is under his feet, holding an overflowing vase with water and fish coming out of it (Kramer and Maier, 1989 [2020 edition], p. 123 Figure 3):

This is the god of the Bible.

Ea is represented by numerous symbols. On the "Babylonian boundary stone" from the "Kassite Dynasty of the second millennium  BC," which showcases numerous symbols of many Mesopotamian deities, the goat-fish and ram of Enki (Ea) are shown (Boulary, 1999, p. 66; Figure 20):

The ram statue seems to be the ram staff, or sceptre (Bienkowski and Millard, 2000, p. 98) (University of Pennsylvania, ORACC, Ancient Mesopotamian Gods and Goddesses. Enki/Ea, Ea's creatures: Iconography, para. 3). Other symbols, and depictions, of Ea are the streams of water with fish, and the turtle (University of Pennsylvania, ORACC, Ancient Mesopotamian Gods and Goddesses. Enki/Ea, Ea's creatures: Iconography). We can see the stream of water with fish, and the goat-fish, in The Enthroned Enki relief. There were "snake figurines and fish offerings" to Ea at Eridu (Espak, 2006, General Conclusions [p. 1]) (Duke, 1971, p. 324 note 27). These are all astrological symbols. The fish is the astrological sign of Pisces, which represents Jupiter and the Archangel Sachiel (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Sachiel-Angelic and Planetary Symbols). Pisces is also the geomantic, and astrological, signs of Neptune and Archangel Asariel (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Asariel-Angelic and Planetary Symbols). Both Sachiel and Asariel have Thursday as their special day as well (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Asariel-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences) (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Sachiel-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences). This means that Jupiter and Neptune were the same individual. Thierens (1935) said that both "Marduk-Zeus" and Ea are "Pisces (Sagittarius)," (p. 41). The ram is the symbol of Mars, and the Archangel Samael. Samael's special day is Tuesday (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Samael-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences), and one of his astrological and geomantic symbols is Scorpio (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Samael-Angelic and Planetary Symbols). Pluto and the Archangel Azrael also has Tuesday as his special day (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Azrael-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences), and Scorpio for his astrological and geomantic symbol (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Azrael-Angelic and Planetary Symbols). The turtle is the symbol of Cancer, the moon, and the Archangel Gabriel (Archangels and Angels, The Astrological Correspondences for Cancer) (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Gabriel-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences). Ea is Saturn-Uranus, Jupiter-Neptune, Mars-Pluto, and the moon. 

We can find other symbols, or depictions, of Ea in the various poems of Mesopotamia. In the "A Shulgi Hymn to Enki," Enki (Ea) was equated to the bull, and the sun. He is depicted as "Clad in lion-skin," and "in the entire(?) heavens." He also has some connection to the dragon. In the commentary to the poem, Mark E. Cohen said that there are multiple interpretations of the passage regarding Enki, the lion, and the dragon. What sticks out to me the most is that he said the lion and dragon are probably symbols of Enki's religion that we just don't know about yet. The dragon is called Mus-hus. As for Ea being the sun, Cohen suggests that Enki is probably the rising sun coming out of the Abzu (Apsu). He also said that the sun could be referring to Enki's priests, but said later that this doesn't seem likely. Therefore, Enki is most likely the sun (Cohen, 2005; in Sefati et al., 2005, pp. 74-80). Ea as the bull is the astrological symbol of Taurus, the planet Venus, and the Archangel Anael (Archangels and Angels, The Astrological Correspondences for Taurus) (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Anael-Angelic and Planetary Symbols) (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Anael-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences). Interestingly, the ram is also one of the symbols of Taurus (Archangels and Angels, The Astrological Correspondences for Taurus). Regarding Ea's relationship with the sun and the lion, this would equate him to the Archangel Michael (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Michael-Angelic and Planetary Symbols) (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Michael-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences). Interestingly, the Archangel Michael is also represented by the Hexagram (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Michael-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences). 

Ea is also connected to Mercury. Ea's special number is 40, also called d40 (Rollig, 1971, p. 500 [German]) (Parpola, 1993, p. 182 notes 87-88) (University of Pennsylvania, ORACC, Ancient Mesopotamian Gods and Goddesses, Enki/Ea). Mercury in Mesopotamia is called Nabu (Green, 2015, pp. 71). Nabu's special number is also 40 (Parpola, 1993, p. 183 Figure 9) (Toorn, 1999; in Toorn et al., 1999, p. 892). This means that Ea and Nabu were the same deity. This makes Ea and Nabu the Archangel Raphael (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Raphael-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences).

Being Saturn means that Ea ruled the Seventh Heaven. Being Jupiter means that Ea also ruled the Sixth Heaven (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Sachiel-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences). He ruled the Fifth Heaven as Mars (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Samael-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences). As the moon, Ea ruled the First Heaven, which is also called Shamayim (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Gabriel-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences). Being Venus means that Ea ruled the Second Heaven (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Anael-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences). Being the sun means that Ea rules the Fourth Heaven. As Mercury, Ea is the ruler of the Third Heaven (Archangels and Angels, Archangel Raphael-Angelic and Planetary Correspondences). In total, Ea rules the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh, Heavens. 

Ea's religion started in Eridu, which was "the cradle of civilization," according to Margoliouth (1868) (in The Contemporary Review, Vol. 74 p. 587). The latest date that I have found for Eridu goes back to about 5,800 B.C., based on an excavation of some buildings (Liverani, 2013, pp. 51-52):

Another building, a shrine, excavated at Eridu goes back to 5,200 B.C. (Tobolczyk, 2020, p. 128 Figure 266):

The archaeological findings at Eridu paint an eerily similar picture to Eden and Genesis. Margoliouth (1868) stated that the Garden of Eden itself "has been identified with the holy grove" of Eridu, and Eridu was "the original seaport of Chaldea." The "guardian spirits which Assyrian art represented as kneeling or standing on either side of the sacred palm-tree in the same garden of Eridu" are "the cherubim with flaming sword" in Eden. The "formation of Eve out of a rib taken from Adam" seems to "parallel" the "self-reduplication of the primitive gods" to create goddesses (in The Contemporary Review, Vol. 74 p. 581). 

Sayce (1888) reveals more information about the religion of Eridu. Ea was the water god, and his wife Davkina (Damkina) the earth goddess, created everything. Damkina/the earth laid on Ea/the watery abyss. Damkina was seen as the sky, and life originated from Ea/the watery abyss. Ea "took the place of the Sky-god," or Anu, in Eridu (pp. 139 and 144). Ea was the demiurge. A hymn dedicated to Ea called him the one "'who stretches out the firmament, the god of good winds,'" among other things. Of particular note, Ea is the "creator of the pure and the impure.'" Ea created the "'black-headed people,'" which are the Sumerians. He is also credited with creating mankind in general. He is also the god of incantations, and controls the gods "'like a flock,'" (pp. 140-141). Ea is also the slayer of the "'sea monster of chaos.'" He is also "'father Bel,'" (p. 141). A "Babylonian tradition placed" Eden, or Edin, "in the immediate vicinity of Eridu." In fact, a "fragment of an old bilingual hymn" even indicates that a "world tree," similar to the Yggdrasil of Norse mythology, was in Eridu (pp. 238-239). 

Kramer and Maier (1989 [2020 edition]) stated that Enki wasn't always benevolent to humans. He was "depriving humankind of the me of life; by his terrifying humans with his awesome, venomous word; by his putting an end to universal human speech and thus afflicting humankind with the babel of tongues-all because he was jealous of his older brother Enlil. Enki, sad to say, suffered from an inferiority complex," (p. 2):

The biggest action Enki did was send the flood to kill mankind (Spencer, 1915; in Kelly, 1915, Volume 75; Volume 97 p. 314):

This is based on a poem from a collection of tablets found in Nippur (pp. 313, 316-317). Ea is the one who saves Sit-Naphishti, who is Noah, during the flood (Margoliouth, 1868; in The Contemporary Review, Vol. 74 p. 590). The story in which Ea confuses the languages (Babel) is called The Spell of Nudimmud (Lowery, 2013, pp. 227-228).

So, let's see: Ea and Ieue/'eie have the same root word in their names, and were even spelled similarly sometimes (like Eau, and Iau). Ea ruled Eridu, and Eridu was the Garden of Eden. The cherubim came from Eridu. The creation story of Eve is similar to the goddess creation story in Eridu. A special tree was in Eridu, and Eden. Ea prevented mankind from "the me of life," which sounds like Ieue kicking Adam (but not Eve, from what I can tell) out of the Garden (Genesis 3). Ea caused the flood, saved Sit-Naphishti, and caused the confusion of languages (Babel). Ieue caused the flood but spared Noah and his family (Genesis 7), and caused the Tower of Babel incident (Genesis 11:1-9). Ea also terrified humans with his "venomous word." Ieue threatens people throughout the Bible. Ea is Ieue/'eie, the god of the Bible.

Map of the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah (Jewish Virtual Library, The Two Kingdoms of Israel):

Ieue (Ju) was the god of Ieude (Judah). Before, I said that Yahavah sounds like the best way to say the Tetragrammaton. This is based on three of the four letters being in the words "Yehudi" (Jewish/Jews) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3064. Yehudi) and "Yehudah" (Judah) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3063. Yehudah). This can help us understand where the Jews got their name: The Ieudi (Jews) worshipped the god Ieue (Ea), and they lived in the land of Ieude (Judah).

Tetragrammaton (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3068. Yhvh ["Yehovah"]):

Yehudi (Jewish/Jews) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3064. Yehudi):

Yehudah (Judah) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 3063. Yehudah):

The tribe of Ieude named themselves, and their land, after their god.

1.4. Other Names of Ea/Ieue in the Bible:
There are other versions of Ea/Ieue in the Bible, and elsewhere, even though some of them are suppose to be "rival false gods" compared to the "one true god."

1.4.1. 'l (Enlil):

"Enthroned deity"/El figurine from the 14th-13th century BC (The Met Museum, Enthroned deity, para. 2):

As stated before, Ea was called "'father Bel'" in an ancient poem (Sayce,1888, pp. 141-142, and 145). Sayce also stated that Merodach was the "younger Bel," but both deities were sometimes mixed together (pp. 148-149). The older or father Bel of Nipur, also called Mul-lil, "became the Semitic Baal," (p. 148). Mullil is Enlil, also called Ellil. He was later equated with Marduk (Frayne and Stuckley, 2021, p. 94). In the Chaldean pantheon, El, also called Enu-Elu-Kaptu, was "the original Bel of Babylon," and was the "lord of the surface of the earth and the affairs of men." Merodach-Marduk is the second Bel, and god of Babylon (Smith, 1876, pp. 57-58). Elu was the god of Nipur (p. 58). Enlil was the god of Nippur (Jordan, 2004 [2014 edition], pp. 83, 90, and 359) (Fontenrose, 2022, p. 157). "El" is another name of Ea-Ieue in the Tanakh (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 410. el). Ea/Ieue was also called Baal in the Bible (Hosea 2:16):

According to Yakubovick (2010), Ea/Iya (Ia) also seem to have been "El-Creator-of-Earth" ('l qn 'rs/Elkunirsa) in the Karatepe inscriptions (in Cohen et al., 2010, pp. 391, 393-394). In the first two "Luvian" inscriptions, called "Hu" (Hurrian) (p. 392) and "Ho" (Neo-Hittite?) (p. 392), Ea is mentioned. In the third inscription, which is Phoenician ("Phu"), El-Creator-of-Earth is mentioned. Since Tarhunt of Heaven is mentioned in the first two inscriptions, then he must be Baal of Heaven in the third one. Since sun of Heaven is mentioned in the first two inscriptions, he must be the Eternal Sun in the third one. Following that logic, since Ea is mentioned in the first two inscriptions, then he must be El-Creator-of-Earth in the third one (p. 391). Yakubovick also said that he doesn't know "of any Iron Age Luvian texts that bear out the synchronic association between Ea and water." This means that Ea was an earth god, which explains why Ea is equated to El-Creator-of-Earth (p. 393). This equates Ea and El as being the same deity.

Karatepe inscriptions (Yakubovick, 2010; in Cohen et al., 2010, pp. 391):

 According to Keel and Uehlinger (1996), in Judah, a pottery "sherd" (shard) from the seventh century B.C. was found that had the name "El creator of Earth" on it. The owners of the pottery shard had Yahwistic names. The authors concluded that, since nothing seems to state otherwise, "Yahweh was known as El" in Judah and Jerusalem (p. 311). This shard was originally described by Miller, Jr. (1980).

Yakubovick also stated that Dietrich (2007) "described El as the Ugaritic 'pendant' of Ea," (p. 394). On the An = Anum list, and other deity name lists, Ea and Enlil shared four names of other deities: Daradim, Daradimdim, Enlilbanda, and Bahar (Litke, 1998; from Hallo, 1998, Vol. 3 pp. 39 and 84) (Lambert and Winters 2023; in George and Krebernik, 2023, pp. 39, 78, 80, 144, 266, 336, and 339). Ea-Ieue is 'l (Enlil).

In the Bible, El is spelled with an aleph. This means that the name was spelled as "Al" (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew: 410. el):

Since the aleph was a glottal stop, the name would've been spelled as 'l (pronounce just the "L"). Now, in the Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, 'l is "Shortened from 'ayil." The NAS Exhaustive Concordance doesn't give an origin for the name, and says that the name itself is a primitive root (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew: 410. el):

'ayil, or 'il (ail), means a ram, a leader, a tree or oak tree, or a pillar (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew: 352. ayil):

We already know that one of Ea's symbols is the ram. This solidifies 'l (Enlil) being Ea/Ieue once and for all.

As for Marduk, Fontenrose (2022) also said that Enlil and Marduk were the same god, and he ruled over both Nippur and Babylon (p. 157). Beaulieu (2018) said that Marduk and Enlil were equated as the same deity (p. 204). Dunlap (1894 [1898 edition]) said that "the Old Bel reproduces himself in the Second, who is like Him." Or, the second Bel was "a Manifestation of the Older, and consequently his Son," (p. 77). Rollig (1971) said that Enlil and Marduk were equated to the number 50 (p. 500 [German]). Parpola (1993) said that both Enlil and Marduk were equated to 50 (p. 182 note 88). Toorn (1999) said that Marduk and Enlil were 50 (in Toorn et al., 1999, p. 842). This means that Ea, Enlil, and Marduk, were the same individual. The funny thing about Marduk being Ea is that Ea is Merodach's (Marduk's) father (Sayce, 1888, p. 144). Father and son are the same person. Ea-Ieue was both 'l (Enlil), Bel/Baal, and Marduk.

El Shadday, or just Shadday, is another name of Ea-Ieue in the Bible. It is usually translated as "Almighty," or "God Almighty" (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew: 7706, Shadday: Strong's Concordance; Englishman's Concordance). After checking Strong's Hebrew, it seems that Shadday means "demon." The Hebrew word for "demon," and "evil spirit," is shed (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 7700. shed), and it has the same root word that Shadday has: "to be powerful," or "to destroy"/"act with violence." Shadday also has the same letters in it that make up the word shed (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 7700. shed) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 7706. Shadday). El Shadday, or 'l Shdi (probably pronounced "Sh-di"), means "'l the Demon" or "Al/El/Enlil the Demon."

Shed (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 7700. shed):

Shadday (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 7706. Shadday):

It should be noted that, originally, 'l Shdi didn't connotate an evil meaning originally (Harwood, 2001, p. 22). However, if we're going to use the meaning that Strong's Hebrew gives us, and how Christianity uses the word demon, then 'l Shdi is a malevolent entity. 

Ea-Ieue was the god of Ieude (Judah). Now, let's talk about Israel. I believe that this name is derived from the god El, who is Enlil. According to Friedman (2015), the people of Israel worshipped the god El originally. The Levites worshipped Yahweh (Ieue). When the Levites left Egypt during the Exodus and met the Israelites, both groups identified El and Yahweh as being the same deity (The Significance of God Revealing the Name YHWH in the Levitical Sources). Fleming (2020) that a "particular link between El and Israel [...] would go back at least to the the late 13th century," and that the Israelites served him. In fact, an altar made to El by Jacob in Shechem had the inscription "El Elohe Yisra'el," meaning "'El, god of Israel.'" This phrase can be seen in Genesis 33:20 (p. 251) (Genesis 33:20). Wright (2009) mentioned this inscription as well, and came to the same conclusion (Ch. 4). Smith (2001) said that it has been proposed that El was the original god of Israel because "El" is in the name "IsraEL." He also stated that "some evidence may point to El as the god associated with the Exodus from Egypt in some early biblical tradition," (Ch. 7 abstract). This makes sense because Ieue said that he was originally known as El Shadday in Exodus 6:2-3. Also, in the Hearst Medical Papyrus, El Elyon was blamed for sending a disease ("black skin lesions") upon the Egyptians when they were fighting the Hyksos. The only other deity on the side of the Hyksos was Seth/Baal Haddu, whom the Hyksos worshipped. In the Rhind Papyrus and Tempest Stele, Seth/Baal Haddu caused storms while the Hyksos were losing to the Egyptians (Weinstein, 2021, Native Egyptian Overthrow of the Hyksos 15th Dynasty: 3. Natural Disasters). Enlil was the god of the Exodus! Not only that, he was the god Seth!

It has been said that the word "el" could also be a generic name for a god (Smith, 2001, p. 135) (Wright, 2009, Ch. 3) (Romer, 2015, p. 72) (Fleming, 2020, p. 251). However, Romer (2015) demonstrated that the name "el" in Israel is the proper name of the deity El (pp. 72-73), and that El was the original god of Israel before Yhwh (Jeu) came along (p. 74). Wright (2009) said that Yahweh (Ieue) said he was called El before (El Shadday), and the personal names of people with the name "el" in it referred to the actual god named El (Ch. 4). In summation, the El in the Bible is the deity El (Enlil) himself.

Interestingly, Smith (2001) said that the name El appears in personal names of people in Amarna (p. 135). Amarna is the city built by the pharaoh Akhenaten that was dedicated to the sun god Aten. The city was originally called Akhetaten, the "Horizon of the Aten" (Stevens, n.d., para. 7-8). This could help to establish that Aten and El were seen as being the same deity as well, along with Ieue.

In summation, El (Enlil) was the original name of the god of Israel. This coincides with Exodus 6:2-3. Enlil was the god of the Exodus too.

Molech, also called Milcom, is the god of the Ammonites (1 Kings 11:5 [NASB] [NIV] [NLT]), but he was also another god that the Hebrews worshipped quite a lot in the Tanakh. His worship included human sacrifice (Leviticus 20:1-5) (Jeremiah 32:35). The name "Molech" was also spelled as "mlk" (Taylor, 1993, p. 202). Interestingly, Molech might be connected to Baal, since both gods are in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom, and the "high places" of Baal included sacrificing children "through the fire of Molech" (Jeremiah 32:35). Which Baal was it? If you ask me, the name "Ammonites" seems to give an answer: Baal Ammon. According to Adams (2017), Hammon, also spelled Ammon, was both Cronus-Saturn and Zeus-Jupiter. Cronus "represents that aspect of reality that, like time, ultimately consumes everything." On the other hand, Zeus "represents the evergreen, generative force that endlessly creates anew." In other words, "both the negative force of entropy and the positive force of syntropy."  The same can be seen with Yahavah having two sides: Elohim being the judge and YHVH being more gentle (p. 63). As we also know, Elohim is plural for "gods" or "El's men." Davis (1861) also said that Cronus-Saturn was the god of time, and Baal Hammon (p. 287). Fox (2009) also stated that Baal Hammon was Cronus-Saturn, and that Hammon had infants sacrificed to him in his cults (p. 281). According to Coulter and Turner (2000), Baal Hammon is Jupiter and his partner was Tanit. They were worshipped in Carthage ([2013 edition], pp. 43 and 87). Baal Hammon is both Cronus and Zeus. 

Langdon (1931 [1964 reprint]) said that the "Ashtart-Yaw" (Astarte-Yav) coin is similar "to the Phoenician Melk-'Ashtart, Eshmun-'Ashtart" coins (p. 44). Melk is the god Melqart, also spelled Melkart. He was also the "Tyrian Baal," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Melqart). Melqart was "probably equated with the sun, and Baal Hammon (Baal Amon)." Baal Hammon's "consort goddess was Tanit," (para. 2). Melqart is depicted on a Tyrian coin "as a bearded god riding the waves of the Mediterranean Sea on the back of a winged hippocampus." The "reigns of the flying sea horse" (hippocampus) are in his "left hand," and in his right "he draws a bow." There's also a dolphin, or a fish, underneath the hippocampus (p. 51 Figure 30):

Melqart was also the god of the sea, and "sea-faring men," in Phoenicia and Greece. As a sun god, his resurrection was celebrated in Tyre and Macedonia during the months of February and/or March. He seems be reborn during this festival. Apparently, this created the celebration of "dies natalis Solis invicti, 'Natal day of the unconquerable sun'" in Syria. This celebration is similar to the resurrection of Bel-Marduk in Babylon, and Baal-Adonis of Gebal. Marduk's resurrection happened at the "New Year festival," (pp. 51-52). As stated before, Claus (1972) said that the father god is the "dying, setting sun," while the son represents the "youthful, rising sun" that "arises like the phoenix in the ashes of the elder, in a continual process of dying and return." Claus uses the gods "Tamuz-Adon" (Tammuz-Adon)/Melkart (father), and Hadad/Baal Shamen (son), as examples. The father god is in the underworld, but when he leaves he is reborn as his son (Vol. 4 p. 46). If Ea-Ieue was depicted like Melqart-Baal Hammon on coins, then that means those two gods are the same individual. The hippocampus was also the animal of Poseidon (Scales, 2009, Ch. 1 [p. 6]). Bonnet (2022) said that "Melqart bnrnk [...] is probably the same as Poseidon Narnakios." This connects Melqart to the water (in Galoppin et al., 2022, p. 97). Melqart-Baal Hammon was Poseidon! We already know that Poseidon was Ea, so Melqart-Baal Hammon is definitely Ea-Ieue. This is why the Jews worshipped Melqart. In fact, Ea, Melqart-Baal Hammon, Tammuz-Adonis, Hadad, and Shamen, were the same god as well. Ball (2016) said that Melqart was Adonis, Dumuzi, Tammuz, and Hercules. Tammuz was also worshipped in Bethlehem (p. 491). 

According to Foster (1901), Molech had the "face of a calf," and a human body. The children were "put into its arms, where they were burned to death" (p. 139).

Molech (Foster, 1901, p. 139):

Pope (1955) said that El was called "mlk" (Molech) more than other deities, and was equated to the Tyrian god Melqart (pp. 26-27). Melqart had human sacrifices in his religion at Tenedos, Greece (Langdon, 1931 [1964 reprint], p. 51). Dunlap (1858) said that Dionysus, El, Jehova (Ea-Ieue), Baal-Saturn, Bel-Mithra, Sol, Typhon, "the Tyrian Uso(v) (Mars)" who was called Chom in Egypt, and Vulkan-Vulcan-Hephaestus (Baal-Chon), were Malach-Moloch. El "eats up children." "Molech was the sun," and "Saturn, Sol, and Mars," are the "Winter, Spring, and Summer Sun," (pp. 109-110). Encyclopaedia Britannica (1797) said that Moloch (Molech) was sometimes believed to be Saturn, whom also had human sacrifices offered to him, Mercury, Mars, Mithras, Venus, or the sun (Vol. 12 Part 1 p. 204). Rawlinson (1882 [2024 edition]) said that the "Rites like those of Molech belonged certainly to El and to Baal" (p. 146). In other words, El, the god of the Israelites, is Molech!

El is described as a "'bull' with powerful horns and a thick white beard." Baal Hadad has been stated as a "'bull-calf', with thin horns and a narrow beard," (Caquot and Sznycer 1980, p. 12). Both Enlil, Yahweh (Ieue), and Hadad, were represented by the bull, which represented the sun (Smith, 1927, Vol. 1, pp. 532-533). In the Tanakh, Ieue is stated as having "the horns of the wild ox/bull" (Numbers 23:22 [NASB] [GWT] [NETB]). One of Seth's symbols was the red ox, and red oxen were sacrificed to him as well (Martin, Jr., 2021, p. 44). Jupiter's "favorite sacrifice" was having a white ox offered to him (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Jupiter, para. 4). The bull was also a symbol of Zeus, and the two cults (the bull and ram cults) probably "existed side-by-side" one another "from a remote Indo-European past" (Cook, 1914, Vol. 1, p. 430). Poseidon was also represented by the bull, as well as the horse (Burkert, 1977 [1985 edition], pp. 64-65, 103, 124, 136, and 138). "Bulls, rams, and lambs," were sacrificed to Ieue (Ezra 6:9 and 17). People have also been sacrificed to Ieue (Exodus 34:19-20) (Numbers 31:40) (Judges 11:29-40) (Isaiah 30:31-33). Ieue said that he lights the fire of Topeth, which is where sacrifices to Molech happened (Isaiah 30:33; note aj). Topeth is the Valley of Ben-Hinnom (Jeremiah 19:6). Baal Ammon-Hammon, Molech, and Ieue, had sacrifices in Topeth/Valley of Ben-Hinnom! They are also represented by the bull, or calf. 

Molech might not be the name of a deity, but a title of Ieue. Molech, spelled as "mlk," means "to rule as a king." It is to represent Yahweh is a "solar understanding of the deity," (Taylor, 1993, p. 202). Taylor also said that solar worship was conducted by the Israelites (Synopsis; Ch. 1, Introduction, p. 19). Archaeological evidence includes sun emblems with "lmlk" on Judean jar handles. The emblems are a sun disk with two wings, and a "four-winged scarab." In the Tanakh, Ieue is called "semes," which means "sun." This is in Psalm 84 (p. 20). Taylor believes that there is a close relationship between Ieue and the sun, even so that Ieuemight even have been the sun itself (p. 22). Fontanille et al., (2023) said that the winged sun disk on the Judean handles was Yahweh (Ieue), based on Assyrian influences (p. 138). One of these handles is shown above. "LMLK" means "to Molech" (2 Kings 23:10 [Interlinear]). Stavrakopoulou (2013) said that human sacrifice to Molek (Molech) was actually to Yahweh (Abstract; pp. 153-154). Irwin (1999) also stated that Baal and Molech were probably the same deity, and the Molech ritual was a solar form of Yahweh worship (pp. 223-224). This supports my idea that the god of the Ammonites was Baal Ammon! Romer (2015) said that Melek (Molech) meant "king," and it was a title for Ieue. The human sacrifices were for Ieue, or "YHWH-Melek" (p. 137). Later writers of the Tanakh turned Molech into a separate deity, and separated him from Ieue (p. 138). It looks like Baal/Moleck/Milcom were Ieue. In the commentary to Sanchoniatho's book, it has been stated that Baal and Molech were the same individual ([Rev. Cumberland, 1720, translation], pp. 113, 152, and 336). Both Yahweh and Milcom have been equated as being Cronus-Saturn-Baal Hammon, and human sacrifice was a part of Yahweh's religion (Stavrakopoulou and Barton, 2010, pp. 163-164). In Psalm 47:2 (NOG), Ieue and Elyon are called Melek (Molech):

Knappert (1877) said that "The god of Israel was originally closely allied in character with the Canaanitish or Phoenician Molech." Yahweh "was worshipped in the likeness of a bull," which represented the "power of the sun, so mighty to destroy." Molech also had a "bull's head," and Astarte had bull horns too. Bull horns were also on Yahweh's altar, along with "twelve oxen which support the molten sea." The cherubs, which Yahweh rides on, "represent the heavy thunder-clouds which hide the Thunderer from the eyes of men." Ashera (Asherah) is "the female side of the beneficent sun god." The demonstrates that Yahweh was originally a sun god, and the design of Solomon's temple proved this (pp. 29-30). The laws of the Tanakh also prevent any other god that was worshipped by a rival group of people to be associated with Ieue (Ex.: 1 Kings 11, Jeremiah 2:4-6, etc.) (Irwin, 1999, pp. 223-224). Despite that, it seems that the Hebrews, in both the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, saw Baal and Moloch/Milcolm as being the same individual as Ieue (Irwin, 1999, pp. 221, 223-224). 

In Sanchoniatho's Phoenician History, Elu-Cronus was the originator of human sacrifice. Elu sacrifices one of his sons to Ouranus as a "burnt-offering." This was done during times of hardship (like a plaque) ([Rev. Cumberland, 1720, translation], p. 37). In the commentary, Rev. Cumberland said that Phoenician princes would do this, especially to "appease avenging daemons" and ward off destruction (p. 37). Uranus (Ouranus) was Melek too. Chronos, Ouranus, Moloch, Milcorn (Milcom), Chemosh, Anu, Elion, and Brahma, were equated to being "an ancient and wrathful deity" who was "appeased by human sacrifice and worshiped at cairns of stone" (Palestine Exploration Fund, 1882, p. 88). In Genesis 22, Abraham was order by Ieue to sacrifice Isaac. However, the angel of the LORD stops Abraham from doing so and tells Abraham to sacrifice a ram. However, in the E (Elohim) Source, Abraham does kill Isaac (Genesis 22 [Harwood, 2017 translation, pp. 16-17]). Since El Shadday is the god of demons, human sacrifice to him (or to his other aliases) was probably done to ward off his wrath.

According to a proposal by Niesiolowski-Spano (2013), the Jewish celebration of Passover probably replaced the "molk-sacrifices." The original molk-sacrifices "used children," but the later Passover sacrifices used "animals" like lambs. The ritual was "moved from the tophet into the Jerusalem Temple." Passover was "performed in the Jerusalem Temple and was closely related to the central cultic activity of the king." Surprisingly, Niesiolowski-Spano stated that Passover had "no connections" with the Exodus (p. 162):

The god of the Bible commanded human sacrifice in his worship. Molech means "king," and was a title primarily given to Enlil. He started the practice in the Phoenician religion, and he was represented by bull figurines. This matches the golden calf in Exodus 32:4. The golden calf wasn't an idol. It was, more than likely, the symbol of Enlil the god of Israel. Ultimately, Molech was a title given to Cronus-Saturn, and he had human sacrifice in his worship. Ea was called Molech in the Tanakh as well, and archaeological evidence from Judah proves this. This is fitting because Ea and Enlil were the same god, as we have seen. 

Jesus said that his blood will be "poured out for many for forgiveness of sins." Jesus' spilled blood is the "blood of the covenant," (Matthew 26:26-28). This means that Jesus was killed so that the god of the Bible can forgive us. Sounds like a human sacrifice to me! There are other New Testament passages that said that Jesus was a human sacrifice to Ieue (Hebrews 9:11-15) (Hebrews 10:10 [NASB] [NIV]) (Romans 3:21-26 [NASB] [NIV]) (Ephesians 2:11-16).

Ieue was also represented as a calf. In Samaria, the capitol of Israel, a pot shard had the name "Egaliah ('bull-calf of Yah')" on it (Callahan, 2002, p. 17) (Middlemas, 1971 [2015 edition], p. 64). This pot shard seems to be called "Samaria ostracon 41," (Middlemas, 1971 [2015 edition], p. 64). In general, Ieue was represented as the bull/bull calf in the Bible (pp. 64-65). Ea was equated to the bull multiple times before, as stated above. Ea-Ieue was the bull and bull calf, just like El (bull) and Adad (bull-calf) were. Mlk was also stated to had the head of a calf. There is no more doubt in my mind now that Ea-Ieue is Mlk. 

The god of Israel, and Judah, was the god of human sacrifice.

1.4.2. Adad:

Baal statue (AO 11598) (Louvre Collections, Figurine: AO 11598):

I mentioned Adad above, but now it's time to take a closer look at this deity. The name "Hadad" is a personal name for people in the Tanakh (Ex.: 2 Kings 11:14), and the name "Hadad-Rimmon" is present as a deity being weeped for in Megiddo (Zechariah 12:11). Megiddo is in the Jezreel Valley of northern Israel (Bible Hub, Strong’s Hebrew. 4023. Mgiddown [Megiddo], Topical Lexicon: Context) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Megiddo, para. 1). 

The god "Adad" was the "weather god of Babylon and Assyrian pantheon." Adad, also called Hadad and Ishkur, was also called Baal (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Adad, para. 1) (Fant and Reddish, 2008, pp. 81-82) (Coulter and Turner, 2000 [2013 and 2021 editions], pp. 13 and 168). He is the son of El, or Dagon (Caquot and Sznycer, 1980, p. 12). We know that Elum and Dagon were the names Enlil on the An = Anum list, so Adad was the son of Enlil. Adad was probably an Amorite god that was "brought into Mesopotamia toward the end of the 3rd millennium BC." His sacred animals are "The bull and the lion," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Adad). Adad has been equated to Enlil (Coulter and Turner, 2000 [2020 edition], p. 168). Baal Adad-Hadad was "possibly the same as Bel (Enlil), Ea, Hadad, Ishkur, Jashar, Marduk, Riummon, Yahveh (Ieue), and Zeus." Adad was also called "Ilhallubu (Babylonian), Ilumarru (Akkadian), Iluwir," among other names (Coulter and Turner, 2000 [2013 and 2021 editions], pp. 13 and 168). Statues of Baal represent him as a "youthful" deity, standing up in a "smiting god" pose, with his right arm raised carrying a weapon. This is from Egyptian inspiration, along with the conical hat (The Met Museum, Enthroned deity, para. 2). Baal's right hand also released lightning (Fant and Reddish, 2008, p. 81). There are two representations of Baal, from Fant and Reddish (2008), that showcase this pose. The first is a limestone stela catalogued as AO 15775 (15th-13th century BC), and a statuette catalogued as AO 11598 (pp. 81-83). Baal has a "conical headdress with two horns protruding from the front," and a "dagger stuck to his waistband" (p. 81). 

Baal limestone stela AO 15775 (Fant and Reddish, 2008, p. 82 Figure 22):

Baal figure AO 11598 (Fant and Reddish, 2008, p. 83 Figure 23):

There is also a Cultic stele (9th-8th century B.C.) of a figure in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem, which might've been Hadad (Adad). It also has "a sword" (or  dagger) on its waist (Israel Museum, Jerusalem, Explore the Collection, Cultic stele):

That dagger looks very similar to Adad's dagger.

Fant and Reddish (2008) said that "some of" El's and Baal's "descriptions or epithets" have been used for Yahweh (Ieue) (p. 87). Hadad was also called Addu, and Seth. Both Hadad, Yahweh, and El, used the bull as their symbol. This represent solar power and the storm. In Southern Arabia, El's name was used instead of Baal's (Smith, 1927, Vol. 1, pp. 532-533). Caquot and Sznycer (1980) said that Baal Hadad has been stated as a "'bull-calf', with thin horns and a narrow beard," (p. 12). Ieue was also represented as a calf. As stated before, in Samaria, a pottery shard had the name "Egaliah ('bull-calf of Yah')" on it (Callahan, 2002, p. 17) (Middlemas, 1971 [2015 edition], p. 64). This pot shard seems to be called "Samaria ostracon 41,"(Middlemas, 1971 [2015 edition], p. 64). Ieue was the bull calf, just like Adad was. 

Aside from both deities being the bull/bull calf, Adad and Ieue seem to have been the same god. As stated before, both Ieue/Qos were equated, or even epithets, of Adad. Ea and Adad were twin brothers (Frayne and Stuckey, 2021, p. 91) (Blenkowski and Millard, 2000, p. 97) (University of Pennsylvania, 

ORACC, Ancient Mesopotamian Gods and Goddesses, Enki/Ea [god], Ea’s creatures: Divine Genealogy and Syncretism, para. 1). The name "Jav, Yav, or Vul," was the god "Rimmon, Raman," the god of wind (Smith, 1884, p. 187). Yav is Ieu, and is also the gods Dyaus/Jove and Iao/Yao (pp. 210-211 note 1). Rimmon and Ramman were Adad/Hadad (Falkener, 1882; in Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archaeology, Vol. 7 p. 286 note 2) (Coulter and Turner, 2000 [2013 edition], p. 13) (Pinches, 1896, p. 13). As stated earlier, the name "Yhv" (Ieu) could be on the 4th-century Philistia-Gaza coin. In Israel, the spelling of the name is "Yw" (Yv). This is seen in Kuntillet 'Ajrud of Israel (Fleming, 2021, p. 164). Yw (Yv) would come out as "Iu." Ea was the god of the subterranean waters (Frayne and Stuckey, 2021, p. 91) (Blenkowski and Millard, 2000, p. 97). One of Adad's earlier personas, the Hattian god named Taru, was the god of subterranean waters. He was also represented by "serpents and fish," (Amzallag, 2023, p. 53). In general, Taru and other Hattian gods "were terrestrial and subterranean" water gods, and "bear a greater resemblance to Enki/Ea, the Sumerian/Semitic god of fresh water." Taru also seems to have lived in "the springs of the earth," from which he "was called out of" in a Hattian text (Green, 2003, pp. 144 and 149). Ea was also represented by the fish and serpent, as stated above. 

The Hattian god Taru later became equated with the Hittite storm god Tarhuna, and the Anatolians equated Tarhuna with their god Baal-Haddu (Adad). Curiously, when Taru was equated with Baal-Haddu, the serpent became the storm god's enemy (Amzallag, 2023, p. 53). Reminds me of the animosity between Ieue and the serpent/snake in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3:13-15). However, the serpent was a weapon, and symbol, of Ieue too (Numbers 21:6-9). Tarhuna seems to be Tarhunt in Luwian, and another name of Taru is Teshub in Hurrian (Bryce, 2004, Chapter 8: The Gods: the Storm God [p. 2]). According to Mackenzie (1907), Tark or Tarku (Taru), also called Ramman, was the Hittite god. The Hittite god was also called "Pappas or Attis ('father')." He was also the "Egyptian Sutekh," and Baal. Ramman was introduced into the Babylonian pantheon when the Hittites took over (p. 259). Sutekh was the god of the Hyksos. The Hittite god was also called "Hadad or Dad in Syria and Teshub (or Teshup) in Mitanni," (p. 261). 

The best evidence for a syncretism between Ea and Adad comes from Lambert and Winters (2023). These authors translated several god lists from all over the Middle East, including An = Anum. On one of these lists, the Enki = Ea sa kullati name list, two of the names of Ea equate him to Adad. These names are we-er (or Wer), and Sir.Sig (or Sirsig). In fact, Ea is called we-er twice on the list (in George and Krebernik, 2023, pp. 266, 268, 270, and 586). Adad, or IM, is also called we-er and Sir.Sig on the Ansar = Anum list (pp. 270, 312, 314, and 518). Other names of Adad-IM are Dadu, Tesub, Ramimu (Ramman and Rimmon?), and I-lu-we-er (Iluwer) (pp. 312, 314, and 518). This seems to be Iluwir, as mentioned above. Rather than just being "twin brothers," Ea and Adad were the same god! This means that Hadad-Rimmon in Zechariah was the god Adad, who is a form of Ea/Ieue. Adad was a god worshipped in Israel, which makes sense because he's also stated to have been El's-Dagon's son. 

According to Teixidor (1977 [2015 edition]), Poseidon was called El-Creator-of-the-Earth, Ea ("a-a-s"), El, and Baal Saphon (pp. 42-43). Albright (1994) said that "the principal form of Baal at Ugarit was Baal-saphon," and that he reigned on Mount Saphon while also having "a palace or temple in heaven." Baal Saphon "was the marine storm-god par excellence, like Greek Poseidon." Baal Saphon was the "Lord of the North," and "lord of the northern storms," (p. 127). Baal Saphon was also Baal Adad, and Adad "lived on Mount Sapon (Zaphon, Saphon)," (Sibley, 2009, p. 45). Baal Adad was called Baal Hadad in Ugarit, and Hadad lived on Mount Saphon (Ford, 2016, p. 190). Miller and Brandon (2014) said that Baal Adad-Hadad was the god of Mount Saphon, and was equated to Zeus (pp. 16 and 18). Rev. McClatchie (1876) said that Adad was Zeus/Jupiter, according to Macrobius (in The Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal, 1876, Vol. 7 p. 3). According to Dowden (2006), Adad/Hadad was called "Zeus Adados" in Greece. "The Syrian Zeus-Adad" was worshipped in "Hierapolis (Bambyce)," (p. 107). Although Baal and Zeus were originally one god, they were split into different personas. According to Professor Muller, this was due to "the influence of local worship," (Rev. McClatchie, 1876; in The Chinese Recorder and Missionary Journal, 1876, Vol. 7 p. 3). In Egypt, the Hyksos equated Seth with Baal, particularly Baal Saphon (Seters, 1966, PP. 171-172, 174-175). Adad also had the trident (Amzallag, 2023, pp. 53-54), which was the "weapon and main symbol" of Poseidon (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Poseidon, para. 1).

Adad with the trident (Amzallag, 2023, p. 54 Figure 1.140):

Poseidon statue (2nd century, B.C.) from the National Archeological Museum in Athens, Greece (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Poseidon):

Zeus also had the trident. This can bee seen on a 3rd-century B.C. Malaysian tetradrachim coin depicting Zeus Osogollis with the trident and eagle (Williamson, 2021, Figure 3.15E): 

Zeus is also shown in this "smiting god" pose too, and how fitting is it to know that Zeus is Adad as well. 

Zeus statue from Staatiliche Museen zu Berlin (5th century B.C.) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Zeus):

Along with Baal Saphon, other names for Adad are "Baal Shamayin or Baal Shamen [or Baal of Heaven]," "Baal of Peor, Baal of Ugarit, Baal of Lebanon, and Baal of Sidon," were "local epithets of Hadad." Baal Malage was also Baal Shamayin (Sommer, 2009, p. 24). As noted before, Shamayin is Uranus and Saphon is Poseidon. This would make Adad-Zeus, Uranus, and Poseidon, the same god. Brocklesby (1706) said that Adad was the sun, Saturn, Heaven, and Uranus. He also seems to have been equated to "Chemosh and Baal-peor, the Egyptians Osiris and Jupiter-Ammon," (p. 109). Adad was both Uranus, Cronus, Zeus, and Poseidon. This means that Adad was Molech as well. This was stated in Brocklesby as well, and matches Adad in being the bull calf. As mentioned before, Ieue was called the bull-calf in Samaria, Israel. This also supports Adad as being Ea/Ieue.

1.4.3. Dumuzi:
Tammuz (1,500 B.C.) (Staatliche Museum zu Berlin) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Tammuz):

Dumuzi is an interesting deity. His name was spelled as Dumuzi-Abzu (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Dumuzi-Abzu), and Dumuzi-Amaushumgalana (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Dumuzi-Amaushumgalana). 
Dumuzi-Abzu was both a goddess, and a god. In Eridu, he was the son of Enki-Ea and the god of the Steppe (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Dumuzi-Abzu). Dumuzi-Amaushumgalana was the Dumuzi of the Steppe, and the "young bridegroom" of Inanna-Ishtar (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Dumuzi-Amaushumgalana). Dumuzi was also called Tammuz. The spelling of the name Tammuz was based on the "early Sumerian Damu-zid," which later became "Dumu-zid or Dumuzi." Tammuz was the son of Enki, and married to Inanna. He was the god of "new life in nature in the spring," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Tammuz, para. 1-2, and 4). I'll just call him Dumuzi. Dumuzi is a dying-and-rising god. He even had a dream about his death in the "'Dumuzi's Dream'" text. Although he tried to fight it, his death was inevitable. In the "'Descent of Inanna,'" Tammuz spends "half the year among the living," and the other half in the netherworld. Originally, Inanna was in the netherworld. However, Inanna asks Dumuzi to take her place (para. 6). The main cause of his death was "at the hands of demons from the netherworld." The god was lamented during the celebrations of his death. This happened between spring, or summer (para. 5). Another god Dumuzi was equated to was Damu (para. 9). Coulter and Turner (2000 [2013 edition]) also said that Dumu-zi, Dumuziapsu, Damu, and Tammuz, were Dumuzi. Dumuzi was also the son of Ea, represented by the bull, and was brought down to the underworld and killed by the demons (p. 158).

I must admit that I encountered this god a lot, but didn't think too much of him before. Now, I must add him to the list because he answers another piece of the Jesus puzzle. Dumuzi had three main female supporters: his "devoted sister Gestinanna, his wife Inanna, and his mother Ninsun. The three women are depicted "surrounding" the "dying Dumuzi," (Coulter and Turner, 2000 [2013 edition], p. 158). This reminds me of Jesus' female followers at his death, and resurrection. For example, in Mark, there are three women who see the empty tomb: Mary Magdalene, Salome, and Mary the mother of James. Interestingly, this happened when the sun rose (Mark 16:1-2). During Jesus' crucifixion, there seems to be three or four women present in John: Mary (Jesus' mom), "His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene." I don't know if Mary's sister is Mary the wife of Clopas, so I'll say that three-four women were there (John 19:25 [NASB]). The BSB version of this passage has four women present, so I'll go with four women (John 19:25 [BSB]). The other gospels have a different count for how many women were present at Jesus' death, and resurrection. 

Compared to other dying-and-rising gods, Dumuzi (or as Tammuz) was equated to Adonis (Coulter and Turner, 2000 [2013 edition], p. 158) (Claus, 1972, Vol. 4 p. 46) (Langdon, 1931 [1964 reprint], pp. 51-52) (Bremmer, 2019, p. 293-294) (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Adonis, para. 2) (Hewitt, 1901, p. 29), Melkart (Langdon, 1931 [1964 reprint], pp. 51-52) (Claus, 1972, Vol. 4 p. 46), Marduk (Brown, 1899, Vol. 1 p. 231) (Langdon, 1931 [1964 reprint], pp. 51-52) (Hommel, 1897, p. 68), and Itanos/Tan who later became Zeus (Hewitt, 1901, p. 29). Adonis, in particular, spends half the year with Aphrodite (Ishtar), and the rest of the year in the underworld. Interestingly, Adonis was killed by a boar (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Adonis, para. 1). Itanos'/Tan's mother was "Brito-martis the virgin (martis) cypress tree (berut)." She was also the mother of Adonis (Phoenician), Tammuz (Hebrew), and Dumu-zi (Akkadian) (Hewitt, 1901, p. 29). Sayce (1888) said that Dumuzi was Tammuz, and the "primeval Merodach (Marduk)." He was also the son of Ea and Damkina (p. 144). 

Now, we have to talk about Elyon. Elyon is another name given to Yahavah in the Bible, and it means "high" (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew, 5946. Elyon). Sanchoniatho said that Elioun, also called Hypsistus, "the Most High." He was married to Beruth, and was the father of Ouranus and Ge (Sanchoniatho, 
Phoenician History [Rev. Cumberland, 1720, translation], pp. 28-29). Another name for God is "Theos." According to Bible Hub, theos is a name for "God," or "a god" (Strong's Greek, 2316. theos).There was also a Theos/Zeus Hypsistos, meaning Theos/Zeus the "Highest" (Mikalson, 2009, p. 109) (Chaniotis, 2010, p. 120 [in Mitchell and Nuffelen, 2010]) (Mitchel, 2010, p. 170 [in Mitchell and Nuffelen, 2010]). In fact, Collar (2013) said that "'Theos Hypsistos' was the Greek Septuagint translation of the Hebrew" name "El Elyon, and the term has long been associated with Judaism" (pp. 224 and 227). Giambrone (2022) said the same thing (p. 194). Sanchoniatho's book, Phoenician History, was probably made around the 1st century AD (McCants, 2012, p. 16 note 11). Sanchoniatho stated that Elioun was the grandfather of Elu/Cronos. Elioun is also the grandfather of Dagon-Demaroon-Zeus. However, Elioun died in a "fight with wild beats." The reason why Elyon is Cronus'/Zeus' "grandfather," and died, is because these deities were turned into humans ([Rev. Cumberland, 1720, translation], pp. 28-29, 30, 32, and 35). This was due to Hellenization (McCants, 2012, p. 16 note 11). 

As to why Elyon is El's grandfather, there might be a surprising reason behind it. L'Heureux (1979 [2019 edition]) said that Elioun is the god of Beirut, and "Sanchoniathon was a native of Beirut." It is suspected that Sanchoniatho made Elioun the chief deity because of this (p. 44). Originally, Elyon is "not documented in the Ugaritic texts, not anywhere else in our epigraphical sources for Canaanite and Phoenician religion," as an ancestor for El. His placement there is "secondary and artificial." Philo Byblius also seems to have had a hand in this as well (pp. 43-44, and 46). 

In the Tanakh, both El and Ieue have been equated to Elyon. In Genesis 14:17-22, we have "El Elyon" and "Yahweh El Elyon":

Vida (1944) stated that El Elyon and Yahweh (Ieue) were not the same deity, and that the conflation of the two individuals came from a later date. In fact, Yahweh, El, and Elyon, are three separate deities (pp. 1-4). Tov (2001) also stated that Elyon, El, and Yahweh, are three separate deities (p. 269). In Deuteronomy 32:8-12, God the Most High (Elyon) separated the land under the numbers of the amount of angels there were. Ieue was chosen to look over Israel. The passage states that "Jacob is the allotment" of Ieue's inheritance, and He watched over Jacob's people (Jacob is Israel [Genesis 32:28]). According to Merriam Webster, allotment means to allot something (Merriam Webster, Allotment). Allot means to "assign as a share or portion" (Merriam Webster, Allot). Did Elyon give the land of Jacob to Ieue? Or, if Elyon is El and Ieue, did he inherit the Israelites from himself? Now, in the Septuagint translation, God (Elyon) is said to have given the land to the angels to rule over. In other translations, whether it be NASB, CJB, or NOG, the angels are translated as being the "sons of Israel." Tov (2001) said that this retranslation was due to trying to enforce monotheism (p. 269). 

However, if Elyon wasn't originally El's grandfather, then who was he originally? Langdon (1931 [1964 reprint]) said that "The legend of the death of Elioun or Hypsistos is undoubtedly based upon the cult of Adonis of Gebal, whose wounding by a boar in the precipitous mountain valley of the Adonis River" goes to "the sea at Gebal, is one of the episodes of this cult." Byblos was Gebal, and was founded by Ilos/Cronos/El (p. 66). In Gebal, El was Adonis. Astarte, El's sister-wife, was Aphrodite in Byblos (p. 67). L'Heureux (1979 [2019 edition]) said that "Elioun's death" was based on the "myths of Adonis cult," (p. 44). Using the "8th century Sefire Treaty inscriptions," it seems that Elyon is an epithet of El. Scholars like R. Lack, and others, have taken this position as well. It should be noted that other gods that were considered in charge were called "Elyon" as well, but there was no independent god called Elyon (pp. 45-46). Another hypothesis describing the name El Elyon could mean "'El, that is, Elyon'," (p. 46). Dunlap (1898) said that Adonis of Byblus, and Elioun, share similar deaths (p. 166), and he equates the two gods as "Adonis-Elyon," (p. 167). Soury (1881) said that "Adonis was certainly Elioun, the 'Most High'." Adonis was also Tammouz (p. 56). The Greek god Adonis was celebrated in Byblos with "annual festivals called Adonia." This was to help with "the growth of vegetation and the falling of rain." Adonis was the lover of Aphrodite, and one story has him dying by a boar during a hunt. Aphrodite went to Zeus for help, and Zeus "allowed Adonis to spend half of each year with her and half in the underworld." Adonis' name "is believed to be of Phoenician in origin (from 'adon, 'lord')." Adonis was "identified with the Babylonian god Tammuz," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Adonis). Yahavah was also called Adonay (or Adonai), which also meant "Lord" (Dawson, 1888, p. 369 note 1) (Bible Hub, Strong's Hebrew: 136. Adonay). Tammuz, also called Dumuzi, is the son of Enki. Tammuz dying is "viewed as the power of the grain, dying when the grain was milled," (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Tammuz, para. 2-3). All of this matches Langdon's statement that El is Adonis in Byblos/Gebal. Elyon-Hypsistos-Adonis, El (Enlil), and Ieie (Ea), are all the same god.

Elyon assigned the Israelites to himself in Deuteronomy, or the author made it look that way. I think this was probably a method to make the Israelites seem special compared to other Semitic or Hebrew tribes. There was a lot of infighting between the tribes in the Tanakh... There's an example that we can use for this as well. Dan/Zan, later called Potei Dan, Poseidon, and Dios, was the original Zeus and god of the first Greeks ("Minyan Greeks") from 2000 BC. The second generation of Greeks, the "Achaean Greeks," worshipped the "Sky-god Zeus." They made Poseidon a lesser version of Zeus because these new Greeks became the new rulers of the land. This was unnecessary because Poseidon and Zeus were the same god (Seltman, 1956, p. 33). Whoever rules the land makes their god the top god. Following this line of logic, to me, the Israelites were Elyon-El-Ieue's chosen people because they ruled the land of Israel.

Deuteronomy 32:8-12 (NASB):

NOG (This version calling the Most High "Elyon"):

In summation, Elyon was Dumuzi. There's more to that though. Tammuz (Dumuzi) was weeped for in Jerusalem (Ezekiel 8:14), and worshipped in Bethlehem (Ball, 2016, p. 491). As if there wasn't enough evidence to link Jesus to Dumuzi already...

As for Dumuzi's connection to Ea, the only number that I can find for Dumuzi is the number 40 (d40/dnimin) (Lambert and Winters, 2023; in George and Krebernik, 2023, pp. 274, 496, 498, 699, and 721). According to Maranz (2023) (preprint), the "E" in Ea's name is "I3." This represents the number 4. Tammuz (Dumuzi) is d4, and Ea is d40. Together, they make the name "I3.A"/"'I.A." Both Ea and Tammuz were also symbolized by the ram (pp. 22-23; p. 23 note 38). Marduk was also syncretized to Dumuzi in Babylon (p. 33). Brown (1899) also said that Tammuz (Dumuzi) was associated with the ram (Vol. 1 pp. 54 and 198). Dumuzi is Ea! This also means that Elyon-Adonis was Ea/Ieue. as well. Since Jesus was the son of Ea/Ieue, this also helps to explain (at least, part of it) why Jesus was a dying-and-rising god: He was Dumuzi! 

Dumuzi and Anum were also equated on the "reverse" side of the tablets O 175/Ra 16 145, and AO 17626 (RA 41 31) (Livingstone, 1986, pp. 187, 194, and 198-199). On the Shorter An = Anum list, Damu, who seems to be similar or identical to Dumuzi, is equated to Anum as "dDamudAnum" (Lambert and Winters, 2023; in George and Krebernik, 2023, pp. 6, 31, 49, 274, and 292). Dumuzi and Anum also seem to have been equated as well (pp. 274 and 292). Damu has been equated to Dumuzi before, as stated previously. This means that Dumuzi was both Saturn, and Uranus! Marduk and Dumuzi were the same god as well, making Dumuzi equated to Jupiter.

1.4.4. Chemosh:

Chemosh is mentioned in 1 Kings 11:7 and 33 as the god of the Moabites. Outside of that, little info. on this god can be found. Some say that he was the "sun," or "Milcom-Moloch-Saturn." Apparently, there seems to be little supporting evidence for this (Cheyne and Black, 1899, p. 738). Some actually state that Chemosh, Baal, and Molech, were the same deity. This is based on the Moabite Stone (Jewish Encyclopaedia, Jastrow, Jr. and Barton, 2002, Chemosh, para. 1-2). Chemosh's name seems to be "'destroyer,' 'subduer,' or 'fish god.'" His role in the Moab pantheon is similar to that of Yahweh's (Learn Religions, Burton, 2019, para. 1 and 5). A fish god, huh? Doesn't that sound familiar? There were fish bones discovered at Ea's temple in Eridu (Duke, 1971, p. 324 note 27). Chemosh was also a "savage war god" (Bible Gateway, Encyclopedia of the Bible, Chemosh; from Pritchard, 1956). Chemosh was also a Semitic deity, and he lead the Moabites to victory against the Israelites (Encyclopaedia Britannica, Chemosh). From what I can tell, Chemosh did this, apparently, when the Moabite king sacrificed his son "as a burnt offering on the wall." Suddenly, a "great anger came upon Israel," leading them to back down and return "to their own land" (2 Kings 3:26-27). This "great anger" was probably Chemosh, using the Moabite stone as a source. It's interesting how the Tanakh didn't state that Chemosh beat them, but it also inadvertently confirmed the Moabite stone. 2 Kings 4 doesn't show the battle continuing, so it looks like Chemosh did beat Israel.

The human sacrifice, and Chemosh beating Israel along with having some of Ea-Ieue's key characteristics,  leads me to believe that Ieue decided to let the Moabites win after getting a tasty human victim. Finally, Forlong (1897) said that the Mesa/Masha Moabite Stele stated that "Yahovah was a form of Chemosh, that is Kamush (...) the solar 'Ruler of Hosts'." "Kam" means "'a lord, papa, or priest'," and "mas" means "'soldiers'." "Kam-mas" means "'the Lord of Hosts' or Tsabaoth," (p. 395):

Chemosh and Ieue were the same god after all! Chemosh is another variant of Ea!

1.4.5. Qos:

Qos-Dushara statue (The Met Museum, Cult statute of Qos-Dushara):

Qos was, according to Kelley (2009), "The national Edmonite deity." The Shasu nomads, whom we will discuss later on, probably knew about Qos (pp. 256-257). However, the Edomites and Judahites definitely knew about Qos ever since the 7th-6th centuries B.C. (p. 258). The Nabateans also worshipped him, and he was probably the god of the Nabateans called Dushara (pp. 259-260). Qos was a storm god represented by the bow, and he and Yahweh (Ieue) were "probably a local manifestation" of "Hadad (Adad)," (pp. 260-261). There also seems to be a connection between Ieue and Qos. Ieue was said to have "came from Edom," and his mountain, Sinai, is probably in Sinai too (p. 261). Qos isn't even mentioned in the Bible, which suggests that the writers knew that Ieue was the god of the Edomites (pp. 255, 265-269, and 274). Ieue also used a bow, albeit this stems from late Biblical books like Habakkuk (p. 266). Knauf (1999) said that Qos was "the national deity of Edom." Yahweh and Qos were probably the same deity, since Qos isn't mentioned as the god of the Edomites. In fact, Yahweh came from Edom. The phrase "Yahweh of Teman" helps to link Yahweh to Edom, since Teman is "northern Edom." Finally, "Yahweh, Qos, and Dushara, are primarily epithets" for "Haddu/Hadad," like Baal was (in Toorn et al., 1999, pp. 674 and 677). As to what Qos looked like, Teixidor (1977) said that he was represented as "seated on a throne flanked by bulls and holding in his left hand a multi-branched thunderbolt, the symbol of the lord of rain." This is in Khirbet Tannur. In Bostra, eagles were offered up to him. The eagle, bulls, and thunderbolt, equate Qos as "a weather god." Once again, Qos is also equated to the bow and possibly even the rainbow. Finally, Qos was equated to Zeus (pp. 90-91). Ea-Ieue was not only the god of the Jews, but also the Edomites. This also equates Ea to Zeus once again. The Met Museum has a statue of "Qos-Dushara" from Khirbet Tannur. Seems that Qos was equated to Dushara after all. This is dated from the first-second centuries (A.D.) (The Met Museum, Cult statute of Qos-Dushara).

Conclusion:
The Tetragrammaton, Yhvh, is Ieue. Ieue is the god Ea, also called Enki. He was the god of Ieude (Judah). His other form, 'l (Enlil), was the god of Ishr'l (Ishral/Israel).
