The Named Gods of Deuteronomy
Additional Comments on Deuteronomy 32:1每43
This article serves to expand several points in the recently published ※The Many Gods of Deuteronomy,§ including noting a number of potential readings of Deuteronomy 32:1每43 which overtly indicate a polytheistic origin for the hymn. This includes several references to both named and unnamed deities, which have gone neglected in the discussions on whether or not the passage indicates Israel*s earlier phases of polytheism. Further, the works attempting to reread Deuteronomy 32 as non-polytheistic are critiqued for a number of other failings in their methods and specific data points.
