“covenant” here, to my understanding, means marriage. Abram choose to be spiritually wedded to the Caanite desert/warrior/storm god. El was a peaceful god. 72 recognized names of God, afaict, but I be confusing that with hermetic kabbalah (Christian mysticism). Each name recognizes different aspects. And gnosticism is something entirely different.
I love how that part admits that there are other gods.
