I heard once that it was originally supposed to be Ra that did the hardening, but that didn't mesh with Yahweh being the only real god. It wasn't enough for him to be the greatest. They needed him to be the only real one. So they had him be a dick, and put all responsibility for what happened afterwards on himself.
It's not even the only time other gods had cameos. There was a point when Moses' people were being poisoned by snakes, and Yahweh said to make a staff with a snake head or something, and pray to it. It was a symbol of a snake god of healing. We actually use that insignia on hospitals and vehicles in the states.
