The hypothesis [of Yahweh's Midianite-Kenite origin] is constructed on four bases:
[1] the narratives dealing with Moses' family and his Midianite in-laws;
[2] poetic texts which are understood to refer to the original residence of Yahweh;
[3] Egyptian topographical texts from the fourteenth to the twelfth century BCE dealing with the Edomite region in which the name Yahweh appears;
[4] and an interpretation of Cain as the eponymous ancestor of the Kenites and the mark of Cain as signifying affiliation to the Yahwistic cult community.
