I have not found a specific connection with goats. I am looking but I expect the goat was the local equivalent of the ram as I cannot find an Egyptian goat headed god.
I have found the Egyptian/Yahweh connections written up in obscure terms. Almost as though there is a deliberate attempt to hide the connection.
And vice versa. The first of the big ten would be more correctly stated "thou shalt not say any god is older than me" or "that I am not the first god" or something like that to show the "before me" means in time not rank or status.
And with that I realize I left something out. Not only did this god create the first people he created all the other gods.
