In the early days, Yahweh was conceptualized as a jealous god among a pantheon. He was not the only god, just the aligned god of certain groups, contrasted to the competitors like Baal and preceded by those like El (later Elohim). Yahweh transformed over time from the favored and representative god of one group to being the correct and highest and then only god, becoming conflated with El much later.
