This guy in the comments calling God a tyrant really needs a calming rs! First, this theory that the Jewish God came from the Canaanite Baal is pierced by the simple fact that the semantic root of the name Jehovah has no connection with any Canaanite name like Baal or El (which he uses only as titles, not as proper names), revealing that the origin as well as the omnipotent God connection comes from outside the Canaanite region. And he really needs to study more what he says, because the entire book of Leviticus is dedicated to listing the reasons why God was ordering the extermination of those peoples, and in most cases it was for human sacrifices (handing over the children to Molok), violence and sexual immoralities (rape and incest, as well as zoophilia in temples of fertility), and acts of violence such as the murder of foreigners, as well as so many other crimes and unethical acts, namely the fact that they exterminate these peoples seen today as an act ediondo (which was even normal in times of war at that time), it was more an act of justice than of ethnic cleansing or to "kill worshipers of other gods" (so much so that even after all this, when they conquered their lands, they left the peoples of Moab and Amom alive and worshiping their gods, curious isn't it?) In addition, this thing of cruelty and tyranny is so subjective of each era that it is funny for us in the 21st century to want to judge Bronze age moral standards, so instead of being a megalomaniac, the biblical God looks more like a moralistic vigilante
