my dear friend , in the OT God has always spoken of himself as the only GOD of Israel

Exodus 20:3

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

pay attention now:
Deuteronomy 6:4

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one
LORD:"

it is very clear statement that HE IS ONE
it did not say : WE ARE ONE , but he said : I AM One
and you find that the whole OT full of messages like these

question:

when we read in the OT , about YEHWEH , who is YEHWEH , Is Yehweh Jesus , Is he God the father , or God the son

thanks and GOD (not GODS) bless

I ll keep this in my mind

Indeed, which is why you do not find David, Solomon, and various others speaking in the plural. . . .

Then, move on to the Documentary Hypothesis where you can see how the different god names--not just El, Elohim, or YHWH--run about the texts attached to different writers and redactors. This is important to understand that one cannot really just quote passages thinking they all agree with one another. It is a bit like quoting Mt and Lk's birth narratives together!

References to this are contained in the other threads on polytheism.

I would add Thompson's: A Mythic Past which is more complete than Bible Unearthed particularly when explaining the anachronisms of the Patriarch narratives and what archeology says about all of the "history."
