El Elyon is mentioned as 'God Most High' occurs in Genesis 14.18...19 as the God whose priest was Melchizedek king of Salem. > > So here, there is a direct usage of Canaanite mythology written into the Torah, in Gen 14:18-19. Bear in mind that all of this exposure to these other cultures happened PRIOR to the first word in the Torah ever being penned. Then we look at the OT and we see all these legacy images of esoteric and religious teachings from other cultures and you still think that the Torah is an original?-I have no idea how original the Torah is. I'm sure there is some cultural mixing of tales and beliefs all through the Middle East. My Bible makes no mention of "El Elyon" in 14:18-19, but the rest of your quote is there. My point remains the same. We have no true idea of how much mixing of religious myths and tales occurred.
