There is also the fact that the YHWH god refered to itself as Baal - the Cannanite god, which was shown in the form of a bull: (Hosea 2:16 ) 16 And in that day, says the LORD, you will call me, 'My husband,' and no longer will you call me, 'My Ba'al.'
The NTW uses a different word from Ba'al with a margin reference that one must look up to see that the scripture refers to Ba'al
(Hosea 2:16) 16 And it must occur in that day,? is the utterance of Jehovah, ?that you will call [me] My husband, and you will no longer call me My owner*.? ----- * Or, "My baal." Heb., ba`·li´.
http://www.bibleorigins.net/YahwehsBovineFormsImages.htmlBaal-Adad, god of the Storm Cloud, storm clouds being called "Adad's Calves" (Yahweh manifested himself at Mt. Sinai as a storm cloud, shortly after a "Golden Calf" was made). From a stela found at Bethsaida, Samaria. Note the f"ull-frontal view" reminescent of "Yahweh of Samaria and his Asherah" found at Kuntillet`Ajrud. This maybe the genetic prototype behind the Kuntillet rendering ? Baal-Hadad transformed himself into a Bull in order to mate with his lover-sister, Anat who transformed herself into a Heifer. A potsherd found in Samaria was inscribed egeliah, "bull-calf of yah" suggesting Israel understood the calf was associated with the worship of yah or Yahweh, not some Egyptian god like the Apis bull. As Yahweh was also called Baal (cf. Hosea 2:16), perhaps Yah/Yahweh, like Baal, could assume the form bull or bull calf (Anat's search for her dead lover, Baal was portrayed as "like a cow seeking after its calf" suggesting Baal in death could be likened to a calf ? In other words, I am suggesting that the Golden Calf WAS Yah/Yahweh and he was a type of Baal, and assimilated bull-calf aspects of Baal (p.55, figure1.28, Ephraim Stern. Archaeology of the Land of the Bible, The Assyrian, Babylonian, and Persian Periods, 732-332 BCE. New York. Doubleday. 2001).
So there you have it... If you ever wondered what Jehover looked like, there it is.
