      iirc they are a tribe of Canaanites and eventually win out. There is a theory that they practiced Monolatry, the worship of a singular god, but without denying the existence of other deities. The Dead Sea Scrolls mention many sons of Elohim and make mention to the gods of other nations, which are defeated by El. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Kpkp2vxX3I
