Has anyone here read the Baal Cycle? Baal and El have a lot of epithets similar to God's epithets found in the Bible. Baal is called "God of gods" and "He who rides on the clouds" and El is called the "God of mercy." It's thought to have been written between the 14th and 12th century B.C. Is this evidence of the Biblical authors appropriating aspects of other gods into YHWH?

See this, especially Chapter 7 (page 147):

It is evidence of the Biblical authors appropriating aspects of Canaanite art (music and poetry) into their religious life.

There is a reason Baal is the false idol for excellence in the Bible.
