Ancient Israel fully understood that there was only one true God, but they often did not live as if they believed that to be true, continually falling into idolatry and the worship of foreign gods. So what are we to make of these and other passages that speak of multiple gods?
Nauunawaang lubos ng sinaunang Israel na mayroon lamang iisa at tunay na Diyos, ngunit lagi silang namuhay sa paraaan na tila hindi sila naniniwala sa katotohanang ito at patuloy silang sumasamba sa diyus diyusan at sa mga hindi kilalang diyos.
