Idk man, when you start looking into the old testament, especially non-official/apocryphal books like the Book of Enoch, it gets pretty interesting. Especially when you take early Judaism in context with the neighboring Canaanite religions
My favorite is the Book of Nod.
There are some kindred who consider that book quite heretical.
The first thing Christians do when they've formed a new group is to figure out who the heretics are.

This... might clear things up just a bit. The Book of Nod is loosely Christian/Abrahamic religion adjacent mythology of the origin of vampires in the ttrpg Vampire the Masquerade. It's the in universe origin myth of vampires.
If you've got some time on your hands, this is an extremely interesting video on the origins of Yahweh and the Israelites https://youtu.be/mdKst8zeh-U?si=fk3vuzXxq58EHKu2
