The early bible is full of references to multiple gods (such as Baal). Deuteronomy makes reference to the possibility that Yahweh was the son of the highest God, given dominion over Judea (with his bros getting other countries.
The monotheistic remnants of the OT are a result of later editing and a newly evolved theology, but the traces of polytheism can still be seen clearly in places.

It' true. Man has always made false Gods. THis is called idolatry.
But the way u asked the question did he ADMIT there are other gods? No because there is one true God.

He was saying that there were not other Gods. The people of that time were into worshiping false gods that they made up.
God didn't like their false gods. So He said not to worship any other God but Him - since He is the only one.

Come on they made a cow while lost in the desert, this shows people were use to making new gods, and it stands to reason they made many gods before that.

Yahweh Is Not A God!
Another deception Satan spreads among men is that Yahweh is just one of many gods. By this false doctrine, Satan has deceivingly EQUALIZED herself with YAHWEH in the eyes of the DECEIVED WORLD!
Many people today even believe Satan is mightier than Yahweh, and have openly raised up groups to call upon Satan to help them gain riches.
This has been accomplished because deceived man thinks Yahweh is just a god among many gods:
Exodus 20:3, KJV__
Thou shalt have no other gods before Me.
Exodus 20:3 is part of the first commandment of the Ten Commandments. The word which has been translated other in the King James Version is the Hebrew word, acher and means: hinder, those left behind.
Yahweh commanded His people not to WORSHIP THE GODS they left behind in the land of Egypt! The word, other, was deliberately placed in the King James Version to deceive man into thinking YAHWEH is just ANOTHER god.
In the days of Mosheh, the Egyptians worshiped every god known to man. Jewish writings say the names of these gods were written in a book. Jewish writings also say, the Egyptian Priests COULD NOT FIND THE NAME OF YAHWEH in that book!
The word el, which has been translated into English as god, was NEVER A TITLE FOR YAHWEH in the days of Mosheh.
It was only AFTER the Israylites moved into the LAND OF CANAAN that this title EL, was ACCEPTED by the Israylites to identify our Heavenly Father.
In the original and up to the days of Yahshua Ben Nun, this title, El, was NOT APPLIED TO YAHWEH by the followers of Yahweh.
In the days of Mosheh, Yahweh was NEVER known nor identified as EL, ELOHIM or GOD. Yahweh commanded Mosheh in Exodus 20:3 ``You shall have NO HINDER GODS (elohim) at all, in opposition against Me.''
Yahweh brought Israyl out of Egypt where ALL THE GODS WERE WORSHIPED and He said to the Children of Israyl, "Leave the gods alone! I am Yahweh your Heavenly Father, your Guide and your Protector! I am ALL you will ever need!''

what God means by that is that you shall not worship false gods like the pagans do. made up, fake, imagined "gods." if there were other gods then the bible would have more explanation about that. but it doesnt.
