Obviously the Hebrews knew of their ancestors Abraham and Isaac and knew a few of the other myths. However, they didn't know their God.
Moses, a fugitive, a man who had not been raised a Israelite comes and "teaches" them about their God. Mixing their mythology with his Mesopotamian mythology to create a new religion.
Claiming that his new Jehovah/Yahweh character is the nameless God of their ancestors.
Exodus 6:3
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

Long before Moses ever lived, Israelites and others knew the name of Abraham's God because Abraham preserved it in geographic place-names.
(Genesis 22:14) Abraham began to call the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. This is why it is customarily said today: “In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided.”
When the Israelites left Egypt, there were likely MILLIONS of them. All of them had heard these things from their parents and grandparents.
(Exodus 12:37-38) And the sons of Israel proceeded to depart...to the number of six hundred thousand able-bodied men on foot...And a vast mixed company also went up with them

Moses was not a fugitive. Did you read the whole story of the Exodus, or did you look for a way out of your own?
The name Moses means waterborne, which he was when he was a baby and was placed in a basket to escape the Egyptians. He was wrapped in a Hebrew blanket that the Egyptian princess hid when she found him. She hid his true identity and raised him as an Egyptian in Pharoah's house.
The real story is much more interesting than the one you are proposing. God told Moses from the Burning Bush: I Am who Am. I Am the God who sent you to Pharoah. You will return there and tell him: Let My People GO!
He is the same God who rescues us from slavery. But we have to want to be let go. We can't just sit there with a bushel basket over our heads.

Firstly, Moses was never in mesopotamia.
Second, the Hebrews (at least the leaders) knew that the one who would lead them out would display specific signs and use specific code-words. Moses did.
No lie...just some more sho-nuff confusion.

The God of Moses is Satan.
As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness. John 3:14
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ John 1:17
Moses gave you not that bread from heaven, but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven John 6:32
All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers John 10:7
I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses was left off .Mark 12:26
Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. John 5:37
Ye know not what ye worship John 4:21-22
O fool and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken; Luke 24:25
All these warnings were about Moses, but because the Gospels are true, the churches have deceived you.
The God of Mount Sinai
The wilderness of Sinai
Sinai means “of sin”
There are 3 Gods
God the Father, who art in heaven, created, with his word.
LORD God, who made with his hands.
Satan the deceiver, the father of lies.
The day Moses got his 10 commandments from his God, Moses killed 3000 of his own people.
Why did Moses bow down to Satan, The 3 temptation of Jesus Christ in the wilderness, do they sound familiar. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob never wanted to Promised Land, Jesus did not want the Promised Land, to the contrary Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world. The Promised Land was the kingdom of heaven.
The Hebrews were not being treated bad as Moses claimed, this is why they told Moses they were better off in Egypt. .
Moses wanted the Promised Land, and Satan want him to worship him. Therefore, Satan took him to an exceedingly high mountain (Mount Sinai) and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, in a moment of time and the glory therein, and said unto Moses, if you wilt fall down and worship me I will give all to thee, and Moses said OK.
From that time Moses killed and conquered and he setup laws that were contrary to God the Father’s commandment, that he had Given to Abraham.
LORD God counted on the other prophets to undue what Moses had done, but they combined their own words with the word that where given to them by LORD God
Satan uses many names, morning star, Lucifer, the dragon, the serpent, God, Lord God, LORD, Lord, God almighty, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, I am that I am, The God that brought you out of Egypt, and Christ.
You can tell who is real only if you stay in the Word of God, God the Father, who is in heaven, is of LOVE and good.. Satan who is in earth is of HATE and evil.
A sad truth, but it is truth, Jesus said the body profiteth nothing, it is the spirit that is quickeneth

If you are constantly focused on finding deception and lieing how will you ever hear the truth?

Uhh- Did you actually READ the Bible? It says it in BLACK AND WHITE! I AM THE LORD YOUR GOD. I don't even question that- I know its the truth. I'm going to heaven to be with Christ, and your questions won't sway me to the devil.
I'll be praying for you.
