biblical-backgroundslisted

Explain what the original ancient audience would have assumed — the divine council, cosmic geography, covenant and treaty forms, temple imagery, and the wider ancient Near Eastern world. Use for worldview questions like "what is the divine council", "who are the sons of God in Genesis 6", "what's going on in Psalm 82", "Deuteronomy 32 worldview", "the Nephilim". For a general passage study use passage-exegesis, which consults these same background sources as one step among several.

The same verses are on the table; the question is different. If the user wants the passage walked through, hand it to `passage-exegesis`, which calls these background tools as one step among several. ## Tools **`get_heiser_themes`** takes no arguments and returns the catalogue of themes in the Heiser material — divine council, Angel of YHWH / second Yahweh, cosmic geography, two powers, and the rest. Run it first when you are not sure which term the corpus indexes. **`get_heiser_context`** takes a topic or passage as a query and returns the supernatural-worldview scholarship: `divine council`, `Nephilim`, `sons of God`, `Psalm 82`, `elohim`, `watchers`, `two powers`, `cosmic geography`. Verified: `divine council` returns 8 entries including the Ugaritic/Hebrew divine-council terminology comparison; `Psalm 82` returns 8 entries arguing the *elohim* of verses 1b and 6a are divine beings rather than human judges. **`get_ane_context`** takes a book and an optional chapter and returns the wider ancient Near Eastern setting. **`search_ane_context`** takes a topic keyword. Both return long
