Many of these readings are very contoversal. And even if they were not, dating them as "late" as the Iron Age, as Sass does, means that all of these so-called references to Yahweh are from AFTER the Israelite "conquest". Calling the writers "Canaanite" in this context is misleading.

Subject: [b-hebrew] More Yahweh outside the Bible



With a collection of over one hundred and thirty inscriptions this study has opened a small window to the early (pre-Exile) history of Canaanite peoples of the Negev. And since twenty-five percent of the inscriptions contain names of the God of Israel (Yah, El/Yah, Yahu, and Yahh) it seems fair to say that these Canaanite speakers had a covenant relationship with Yahweh.

These inscriptions reach back to 1200 BCE.
