In this provocative new proposal, Chalmers presents the prophet
Hosea as engaged in a polemic against the Canaanite deity El.
Especially in chs. 11-13 Hosea is exposing the Northern Kingdom's
fatal error of mistaking El for Yahweh (just as, in chs. 1-2, it
was Baal who was wrongly identified with Yahweh). Here Hosea is
asking, 'Who is the god of Jacob?', 'Who is the god of the exodus?'
His answer is: not El-as in many Israelite traditions-, but Yahweh
