First, the Hebrews were a Canaanite tribe,and did not have their own writing until after 600 BCE. Hebrew history as found in the Pentateuch has no provenance before 600 BCE. The myths ;ike the Noah flood have their origins from earlier Sumerian. Babylonian, and Canaanite/Ugarit writings.From which Sumerian, Babylonian and Phoenician./Canaanite culture and writings, did this law evolve?
Exodus 13:16והיה לאות על־ידכה ולטוטפת בין עיניך כי בחזק יד הוציאנו יהוה ממצרים׃And it shall be for a sign upon your hand, and for frontlets between your eyes; for by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.Deuteronomy 11:18ושמתם את־דברי אלה על־לבבכם ועל־נפשכם וקשרתם אתם לאות על־ידכם והיו לטוטפת בין עיניכם׃Therefore shall you lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.

Deuteronomy:
22:6כי יקרא קן־צפור לפניך בדרך בכל־עץ או על־הארץ אפרחים או ביצים והאם רבצת על־האפרחים או על־הביצים לא־תקח האם על־הבנים׃If a bird’s nest chances to be before you in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they are young ones, or eggs, and the mother sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs, you shall not take the mother with the young;22:7שלח תשלח את־האם ואת־הבנים תקח־לך למען ייטב לך והארכת ימים׃But you shall let the mother go, and take the young to you; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.22:8כי תבנה בית חדש ועשית מעקה לגגך ולא־תשים דמים בביתך כי־יפל הנפל ממנו׃When you build a new house, then you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you should not bring any blood upon your house, if any man falls from there.22:9לא־תזרע כרמך כלאים פן־תקדש המלאה הזרע אשר תזרע ותבואת הכרם׃You shall not sow your vineyard with different seeds; lest the fruit of your seed which you have sown, and the fruit of your vineyard, be defiled.22:10לא־תחרש בשור־ובחמר יחדו׃You shall not plow with an ox and an *** together.22:11לא תלבש שעטנז צמר ופשתים יחדו׃You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, like woolen and linen together.22:12גדלים תעשה־לך על־ארבע כנפות כסותך אשר תכסה־בה׃You shall make fringes upon the four quarters of your cloak, with which you cover yourself.
Second, archaeological evidence demonstrates that the Gods of Hebrew tribes were Canaanite Gods including El, YHWH and Goddesses. The trends to Monotheism did not come till after 600 BCE with the return of the Hebrews from exile.

The later editions of the book were expanded to include recent archaeological discoveries and the rituals of unification (Yichudim), which are to unite God with his Shekinah.
The identification of the pillar figurines with Asherah in this book was the first time they had been identified as such
Canaanite/Ugarit writings found in ancient libraries were a source of the Hebrews.

Is Psalm 29 a Creative Reworking of a Ugaritic Hymn?
The biblical authors also borrowed genres and literary styles from Ugarit. Judging from the analysis of the Biblical Psalms and the found Ugaritic hymns, we can conclude that these Canaanite hymns were known to ancient Hebrew authors, who took their images and style as a basis and applied them to the religion of the God of Israel. Psalm 29 is a vivid example of such cultural borrowing. The protagonist in the Ugarit prototype of Psalm 28 was Baal, the god of thunderstorms and tempest, whose attributes the author of the Psalm transferred from a pagan deity to the true God Yahweh. Yahweh is represented as a formidable God: The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth (Psalm 29:3); His voice makes the earth shake: The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon (Psalm 29:5), The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh (Psalm 29:8). God of Israel is represented as the Lord of storms and lightning: The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire (Psalm 29:7). Psalm 29 is not the only Psalm where some Canaanite images describing Baal are applied to the true God. Thus, Ugaritic texts call Baal “riding on the clouds” (O Ba’lu. Ugaritic Poetical Narratives), because one of his functions was to send down rain. This description is applied more than once by the prophets to the God of Israel, who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind (see Psalm 68:33; 104:3; 18:10).I can provide many more archaeological and ancient text reference that document the origins of the foundation of the Pentateuch as compiled form earlier sources and later adapted and edited to include Hebrew traditions and beliefs,
