Hey, folks.

I'm looking for someone information on ANE myth studies that come from
more of a traditionalist position, not assuming that the Torah is a
re-hashing of ANE myths and such. Could anyone provide me with such
resources?

More specifically, I'm looking for information about Deut 32:8-9, in
which many arguers today claim that there is evidence that Y-H-V-H is
portrayed as a son of El (based on some Qumran text and Syriac
translations, I think). Do you perhaps have information on this
specific verse? Arguments against the idea that these two verses are
part of a pre-Torah myth about Elyon dividing the nations up among the
sons of El, of which Y-H-V-H is one? I'd never heard this story as
appearing in the Torah until this week, and I'm looking for arguments
against it.

Thanks,
Jason Hare
Rehovot, Israel
