2) It's "deities," not "deity," since they were polytheistic before Abraham.
Before Abraham, the early Hebrews worshiped the idols and deities of their places of residence in Babylonia. These included Nanna (the moon-god), the king (who in those times was deified), and various local, family and regional idols, including any or all of these:
- An or Anu - the god of heaven
- Enlil - god of the air and storms.
- Enki - god of water and the fertile earth
- Ki - The mother-goddess
- Ashur - god of Assyria (sky god)

- Ea - god of wisdom
- Marduk - god of light.
