This is a discussion of the following article:
Shane M. Thompson; Local Manifestations of YHWH within El’s Divine Council: Psalm 82 in the Context of Israelite Religion. Journal of Biblical Literature 15 June 2024; 143 (2): 245–265. doi: https://doi.org/10.15699/jbl.1432.2024.4
This article reinterprets Psalm 82, arguing that the "gods" within the council are local manifestations of YHWH from throughout ancient Israel, with the singular "god" potentially representing YHWH of Jerusalem.
