It has long been suspected that Yahweh, the God of the Old
Testament, was originally a weather god of the same type as the
Syrian Baal. The present study presents the exegetic basis for
this. It demonstrates how the Psalter preserves various ancient
cultic songs praising Yahweh as a royal weather god. Parallels in
Syrian and Mesopotamian weather god traditionsshow that originally
the Ancient Hebrew notion of God was not fundamentally different
from that of its surroundings.
