Biblical texts, like Genesis and Deuteronomy, show Abraham’s family serving various Elohim, indicating multiple entities.
However, you go to the root meanings of those words, and what you reach is "the powerful one," "the destroyer." And Yahweh says in a later text that he introduced himself to Abraham as the powerful one, the destroyer.
In Genesis 3, you get to the story of Abraham nearly sacrificing his son, and it’s pretty clear you have two warring entities there with Abraham caught in the middle.

That Abraham brought it with him and it was passed down and passed down.
Abraham, the father of the Hebrew people, came from Ur in Chaldea and travelled west to Canaan.
Abraham, Steiner says, was chosen because his brain was suited to knowing the world through reason and outer observation instead.
Abraham's mission had to pass down by blood, so his descendants had to inherit the same kind of body.
He reads Abraham's readiness to sacrifice Isaac as total devotion to Jahve, through which Abraham received his mission back as a gift.
Steiner reads the genealogy at the start of St Matthew (Matthew 1:17) as a picture of this process: 14 generations from Abraham to David, 14 from David to the Babylonian exile, and 14 from the exile to Christ-Jesus, 42 in all.
For more on the figures here, see Moses, Zoroaster and the Akashic Records, which Steiner names as his source for Abraham's route.
I appeared to Abraham… as El Shaddai, but by my name YHWH I did not make myself known’" (6:2-3).
Shift in 3:15: Right after “I AM,” the text says, “YHWH, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham…” (3:15).
“I AM”’s universality gets tethered to YHWH’s covenantal specificity—“the God of Abraham” replaces “the All and the One.”
Instead, YHWH, “the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” (3:15), directly commissions Moses: “I have seen my people’s affliction; go to Pharaoh” (3:7, reframed as YHWH).
YHWH’s covenant (19:5, 24:7) ties neatly to “God of Abraham” (3:15) and “my people” (12:31).

Lot and his daughters stand outside the direct covenant with Abraham.
Lot is Abraham’s nephew.
Saving him keeps a real link to Abraham’s wider family.
The story may imply that Abraham’s plea (Genesis 18:23–33) reached beyond Isaac and Ishmael to Lot as well.
That makes Abraham a figure who unites the story of human growth.
And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which Elohim gave unto Abraham.
Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.

Genesis 15:7: Another passage where YHWH declares, "I am YHWH," introducing Himself to Abraham.
The covenantal language in verse 13—"I am YHWH Elohim of Abraham thy father, and the Elohim of Isaac"—is formal and formulaic, often associated with priestly or redactional expansions.

Genesis 18:2–5“Abraham lifted his eyes and saw three men… He prepared food for them, and they ate.”(Seen by some as malʾāḵîm representing Elohim)

Genesis 19:29Later addition "And it came to pass, when Elohim destroyed the cities of the plain, that Elohim remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in the which Lot dwelt."
Abraham is sent with his wife and a hundred picked men to see Sodom and Gomorrah for himself, and Lot is spared for Abraham's sake.

After being rescued by Abraham, Lot returned to the area.
But in honor of Abraham’s past service, Enlil decided to give him warning.

Following the devastation north and east of Palestine, Abraham moved his people to the south, wherehe fathered Isaac when he was one hundred years old, thanks perhaps to his hybrid genes.
For about thirty-five generations, or more than 875 years, the Israelites passed along oral accounts ofthe stories of the Abraham and the Anunnaki until they finally wrote the stories down in Hebrew.
