No. That's something we added after the ink on the stories was already dry. God was a complex moral character - it was his sovereignty that was absolute, not his goodness. The guy could be a real prick. The name Israel means "one who struggles/wrestles with god". Let that sink in. That we later demanded moral purity in spite of the contents of the stories is par for the course....existing so that we might make demands and then further demands is the raison d'etre of godhood.
