Hipótese midianita

A hipótese midianita também é conhecida como hipótese quenita propõe que as origens de Yahweh e do Yahwismo tenha sido no sul do Levante.

A teoria afirma que o Senhor originalmente era uma divindade midianita que foi assimilada pelos proto-israelitas.

A hipótese surgiu no século XIX entre eruditos alemães, mas sempre foi marginal. Contudo, o reexame de descobertas arqueológicas no início do século XXI levou à sua reconsideração por alguns biblistas.
