Jehovah was one of the Elohim, the Canaanite pantheon (Ba'al was another), and he was claiming supremacy within that group, but he was not claiming to be the only god.

You shall have no other god BEFORE ME. Jehovah was one of the Elohim, the Canaanite pantheon (Ba’al was another), and he was claiming supremacy within that group, but he was not claiming to be the only god.

Jesus spoke Aramatic, the first Bibles were in Greek then Latin, then no telling how many forms of ancient English and European dialects. Yeah, there is a possiblity words were misinterpeted. What you should worry about from the LDS, is the belief in a man revered by the LDS, believeing God was a spaceman from another planet, source, Teachings of Presidents of the Church BRINGHAM YOUNG, by the way, free at any LDS church.

Egyptian Pharaoh did not keep the children of Israel prisoner, it says God hardened Pharaohs heart, read the Bible. Another thing, the Ten Commandments, you will have no other god, how do you justify a minor evil deity, Satan, with this commandment. Anyone, preachers, priests included ever read THE BOOK OF JOB
