The influence of the God Ba'al on Israelite pantheistic mysticism

The Article in question sets out to study the complex issue surrounding the cultic worship of the God Baal, in archaeology, in the life of Israel and in the Bible. It is intended to demonstrate that monolatry was not the rule in Israel, but the exception. The influence of the God Baal on Israelite pantheistic mysticism began precisely with Israel's contact with neighboring nations, as well as with the conquest of Canaan, the promised land. Israel's coexistence with the Canaanites made them embrace the worship of the gods already worshiped in that region, specifically, the God Baal. Thus, although the cult of Yahweh had not been abandoned by the Israelite nation, however, Israel, moved by ill-fated influence, began to worship Yahweh along with the worship given to the other gods, making Israel a polytheistic and polylatric nation.
