An rendition of Yahweh as originally a volcano god of one of the c.1300 active volcanoes, e.g. Mount Bedr, of the Saudi Arabia peninsula. [4]

“These modern historians, well represented by Eduard Meyer [1906] follow the Biblical text in one decisive point. They concur that the Jewish tribes, who later on become the people of Israel, at a certain time accepted a new religion. But this event did not take place in Egypt nor at the foot of a mount in the Sinai Peninsula, but in a place called Meribat-Qades, an oasis distinguished by its abundance of springs and wells in the country south of Palestine between the eastern end of the Sinai Peninsula and the western end of Arabia. There they took over the worship of a god Jahve, probably from the Arabic tribe of Midianites who lived near-by. Presumably other neighboring tribes were also followers of that god. Jahve was certainly a volcano god. As we know, however, Egypt has no volcanoes and the mountains of the Sinai Peninsula have never been volcanic; on the other hand, volcanoes which may have been active up to a late period are found along the western border of Arabia. One of these mountains must have been the Sinai -Horeb which was believed to be Jahve's abode.”

“And Yahweh, Elohim (Shining One), fashioned the Adam of the clay of the soil; and He blew in his nostril the breath of life, and the Adam turned into a living soul.”

“The different names [Jahve and Elohim] [in the Bible] are a distinct sign of originally different gods.”
