If I recall correctly he was the son of Asherah and El until he dethroned his father and married his mother.

Later he was retconned as being identical to El as a strategy for disempowering the El cult priests.

The Wikipedia Yahweh article is likely where I got it from. It’s well-footnoted, so you can assess reliability. Lots of fun stuff in it!
