Some thoughts on the account of creation compared to the Ancient Near Eastern texts.
Sorry to be long winded.
The Text from Canaanite Literature with possible reference to Yahweh:

-------his son(s), Thor   more...[ ]
And Ltpn, God of Mercy, replies: [ ]
"The name of my son is Yw-El [ ]."
And he proclaims the name of Sea [ ].
They reply: "- - - [ ]
Thou art named 'Lord' [ ]
I am Ltpn, God [of Mercy, ]
On the hands, thou art named [ ]
Thy name is El's Darling, [Sea ]
My house of silver which [ ]
In the hands of Aliyan Ba[al ]
A pitcher of wine - - - [ ]
Drive him out from the se[at of his kingship]
[From the dais, the throne,] of his sovereignty
[ ]
And they, even to [ ]
He will smite thee like [ ]
El, sacrifice [ ]
to name [ ]
Slaughter great [and small cattle]
[Kill] oxen and [fallings of rams]
[Yearling bullocks]
[Little] lambs, [kids ]

""Yw-El" is the son of the head of the pantheon. This suggests that
"Yahweh" ("Yw") was originally El's son in pre-Israelite Canaan. It is usual
for a younger god to eclipse the older gods in the development of religion.
In other words, just as Zeus eclipsed his father Cronus, Yahweh eclipsed his
father El. Subsequently, Hebrew monotheism necessitated the identification
of Yahweh with EL

A clip from our boat ride off the coast of Granada, Nicaragua, where we go through a narrow way -- only to run into another boat!

A pretty cool coaster. One of two that I'll put up that are dragon-themed.

Skaters almost get taken out by a speeding car. Their board gets completely wrecked.

These soldiers almost get hit by debris when a nearby explosion occurs.
