illuminated, and understanding Being in the Universe genuinely uttered those words.

Rather, it appears more plausible that a tribalistic, desert-dwelling individuals from the Iron Age, influenced by the circumstances of their time and environment, wrote these words long after the fact. In doing so, they likely projected their own thoughts, feelings, and aspirations onto their concept of God and rewrote history.

This narrative likely served strategic purposes such as ensuring the survival and prosperity of their tribe, even if it meant detriment to other groups. It may have also aimed at accumulating power and resources through their God to secure their tribe's well-being and rationalize specific bad actions taken by themselves and their in-group.
