That law strictly forbade any temples to be built outside of Jerusalem, so my theisis that prior to Babylonian exhile polytheism was common established practice is more than proved here by extra-biblical sources, and very good ones to. That monotheism you prattle on about was something that we only see them start to morph into post Babylonian exhile, which is too simple & flying over your head all along, but true.

Its really just simple logic, the only reason a group of refugee Jews living in Egypt would write down that their greatest god married a semetic godess, is because they took this belief from their semitic homeland with them. The fact such a temple shoud be built in Elephantine in the first place shows also it predated the law so must have originated in Babylon (who really cares?)
