Maybe a little too brief

It was a good synopsis. I’m going to find something else to dive a little deeper. I can’t speak to the accuracy of the information as I’m not an ancient near East scholar, but I can say that the information presented for Judaism and the worship of YHWH is not accurate, and does not take the testimony of the Old Testament into account.
