    Pretty good info. I just noticed tho that the word "henotheism"/"henotheistic" does not occur in the main text, and the article seems to characterize Israelite religion as mostly polytheistic. There is no discussion of the substantial onomastic evidence of henotheism, which contrasts strikingly with naming practices in Assyria and Babylonia -- where polytheism was certainly more robust.
