Episode notes

By the year 1000 BCE, Canaan had transformed into the Kingdom of Israel. The Twelve Tribes owed allegiance to a king, as well as to the patron god of the new kingdom: Yahweh. How did these political developments lead to the elevation of this god? What happened to the other Canaanite gods that had been worshiped? Could they still be worshipped?
