dc.description.abstractIn this paper I examine the relationship between El and YHWH, and show through an analysis of secondary literature, the verb לַחָנ ,and various relevant biblical texts, that there have been many ways in which this relationship between El and YHWH was conceived. Though the role of El in Israelite religion has been suppressed, downplayed, and under-analysed, there is a wide variety of biblical passages that attest to a theology in which both were worshipped: YHWH as patron deity of Israel, a nation he inherited from his father El, and for which he will fight; and El as the head of the pantheon and father-figure, the old, compassionate, wise, bull-god that can help people with getting offspring.en_US
