I am convinced that we may synthesize the Hebrew Bible by these three social trajectories:
 
God:El                        Yahweh                                                   Elohim
People: Israel               Judah                                                     Judah to Israel (both)
Origins: Aram               NW Arabia                                              Egypt
Patriach: Jacob             Abram (Mesopotamia homeland is exilic)  Moses (Egyptian)
Epic: E                         J                                                           P
 
This synthesis is presented in my Tradition and History in Early Israel.
