Also, prior to the old testament being in the form it is today, the character that would become the one god was just a minor god within the Canaanite pantheon. A lot of the old testament makes more sense when read with that context.

Yep, Exodus 34:14 : "For thou shalt worship no other god; for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God"

This strongly implies that (in this theology) there are multiple gods if Jehovah/Elohim can be jealous.
