So, back to those nasty motherfuckers I was mentioning. The levites were a minority group who worshiped the god yahweh. They were also a brutal and particularly bloodthirsty set of people. Their compatriot canaanites worshiped El. This was a problem and a solution (because it could be used as pretext). They were said to have slaughtered other tribes for their many disagreements..until such a time as they came to power, asserted that their god was the real god and no one could call god all those other names anymore..in addition to establishing a tax and tithing system along with exclusive rights to educate children in their "history". They also appear to have had a fetish for egyptian cultural and religious bric-a-brac.
(wyrd summed it up pretty well, in his usual manner of speaking, lol)
In other words, Love is a Battlefield.
