Actually, I'll help, I've got a few ideas of my own.
>Israelites were originally canaanites who broke off after the bronze age collapse
Even in the reports by the archaeologist ((Israel Finkelstein)) he has to admit that if the israelites were a slave caste to the original canaanites, he has to admit they were their own separate ethnic entity. Also, why would there be a genocide narrative in the OT?
>Canaanite Pantheon was still worshipped
It would be good to mention that "Elohim"
and "Baal" are used as catch-all terms for "gods" or "God" all throughout the ancient Levant, plus, El, the supreme god of the canaanite pantheon, had a council of gods and demigods, does this show up in any of the ancient Israelite text?
>Hyksos gave them the cult of yahweh
Didn't Egypt have a polytheistic religion, how would they have developed this?
>Shasu gave them the cult of yahweh
Don't know about this one
Maybe later, I'll go into it more
