The difference is we have written proof that Zorastrianism goes back before Moses.

“The Bible speaks of Abraham. “

So what? I do believe it.

And that is not really the point I was trying to make here. My point is that the early Hebrews had a different perspective of the Diety than did later Hebrews and the changes in that perspective were influenced by outside - non-Hebraic - elements, chief of which may have been Zorastrianism, an earlier form of monotheism to which the post exilic Hebrews hd been sxposed in Mesopotamia.

“In addition, oral tradition in its time was huge. “

Oral tradition has always been significant in preliterate societies. But it is very difficult to date oral tradition unless it is relegated to writing.
