I don't mean to sound argumentative or unpleasant, but your lines below demonstrate your complete unfamiliarity with the history of ancient Israel. Nor have you read the Hebrew Bible very closely or you would have noticed, among others, this little passage:

Gen 31:30, 35:2, and Ex 12:12, where God himself recognizes "other gods". There was nothing even remotely similar to monotheism in Israel (henotheism too is a bad term) until well after deutero-isaiah's time.

Please read more carefully.

Sorry, but YOU are the one who is wrong. The Torah was not written by ancient Hebrews or Canaanites walking around the land.

And the Torah definitely knew that there is ONLY one G-d!

And it is terribly misleading of you to deny this fact.

And you should learn more Torah, including ORAL Torah.
