I always understood monotheism as worshipping one god vs worshipping many, i.e. Abrahamic vs Greek/Roman/Egyptian

Imagine posting a video on the Bible and getting a full green light from Dan! That'd be like Spielberg telling you your movie is great.

The Old Testament wasn’t written in a vacuum. The Israelites lived in a world surrounded by polytheistic cultures like the Canaanites, Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and later the Greeks. early Hebrew texts, especially the Ten Commandments saying “you shall have no other gods before me,” the language reflects this context. It doesn’t deny that other people worshiped gods it acknowledges that reality but it draws a line, saying Israel’s devotion belongs exclusively to Yahweh. Scholars often call this “henotheism” or “monolatry,” meaning the worship of one god without necessarily denying the existence of others. Over time, especially as Israel’s identity solidified through exile, prophets, and temple worship, this devotion sharpened into a clearer monotheism. That’s why by the later prophets and certainly in post-exilic writings, you hear stronger declarations that Yahweh is not just Israel’s God but the only God, and all others are “idols” or false

The Hebrew Bible also recognizes the legitimacy of necromancy, magic, and divination, to the extent where the dead are "literally" conjured to speak with the living, and the magicians in Pheoroh's court are able to use magic to replicate some of Moses' divine acts, and having Joseph interpret dreams/preminitions :)

You said scholars but is there a consensus or is it still debated? I am asking because I know a lot of scholars that said there is monotheism in the bible.

growing up religious, the idea taught was that the other gods were just false gods, they aren't "real", unlike God. why isn't that a valid interpretation?

American Ethnographers :
Would you say there is "henotheism" in the Bible or is this term outdated or imprecise?

Al Pasha :
When Scripture calls Him “God of gods and Lord of lords” (Deut. 10:17), Maimonides interprets it as a declaration of His absolute supremacy over all beings that others may consider “gods” (whether angels, stars, or rulers)

It is really weird to watch a Dan McClellan video where he says the stitched video is accurate.

why isnt Lucifer considered a god, like Hades and Hela? Also, despite trinitarian views, wouldnt Jesus be a demi-god?

😆 when non jews interpret. But in the Hebrew mindset, elohim (the word often translated “gods”) could mean lots of things, spiritual beings, angels, even human rulers depending on context. It doesn’t automatically mean rival “gods” equal to Yahweh. That’s why Israel was always warned against worshiping anything else, idols, demons behind those idols, or any being falsely exalted as a “god.”
