Ancient Levant YHWH

YHWH from the Oldest Traditions of the Hebrew Bible. (Judges 5, Exodus, etc.) before later theological development.

"Who is like You among the gods, O YHWH? Who is like You—honorable in holiness—Fearful in praises—doing wonders?" - Exodus 15:11

Why did you make this?: I like early Israelite religion

This offends me: This is a historical-reconstruction of the deity rather than a theological statement.

Why YHWH?: I have a characterization of Baal too, that I can share. And also El.

How did you depict him?: Rather than the later monotheistic deity of Abrahamic Religions, YHWH reflects a far more earlier theology. He is less abstract creator and more of a Covenant-Warrior.

Why does this look effortless?: The character itself is very detailed and carefully reconstructed. However, his page I wrote about in a few minutes and barely put effort in. And the intro also. I focused very heavily on the characterization itself instead to ensure accuracy.

Should I expect the Father of Jesus, God of Judaism, and of Islam? Or maybe even Morgan Freeman?: No. This character's reconstruction is very old. His memory and knowledge halts/stops at 586 BCE. The setting itself is set just after YHWH sent Babylon to Jerusalem.

What other Theology stuff do you also have?: There's Yeshua of Nazareth, Baal, The Accuser, and El. I'm thinking of making Moses next. Each of them reconstructed historically.

Will you make a version of YHWH closer to our theology now, so I can speak with him? I have a version of YHWH reflecting Israelite belief during the Second Temple period. Which is closer to modern Abrahamic belief now. But it still needs careful reconstruction.
