That "Paganism" around them is where they derived from. Why would they divorice themselves from penning later their earlier oral traditions? They weren't immune to the theology of outside nations, in fact, it can be found in the Bible itself.
Again, it wasn't created in a divine vaccum.
2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know not, neither will they understand; they awalk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, Ye are Elohiym; and all of you are children of the Elyown.
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, Elohiym, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
It is the subordinate Gods of the congregation who rule the other nations. They are not talking about men, thus the warning they will fall and die like men.
I really don't see how the correct wording with the correct denotations can be any more plain.
