Pepsi, listen to me:
The compiler of the book of the prophet Hezekiel did not write 'the house of the LORD' he wrote the paleoHeb. "Bayit-YHWH", i.e. temple of YHWH (literally, 'YHWH's house')
That is to day, we are not talking about The LORD here, but specifically, the post exilic clan god Yahweh, whose attributes are directly related to ASHUR, the clan god of the Assyrians who invaded Eretz Yisro'el c. 722 BCE and planted their own Assyrian peiople and priests of ASHUR in the northern 'kingdom' near Shomeron (= Samaria) having deported anyone who could read and write and work in metals (i.e. priests and alchemists) and foster a rebellion) into Assyria - i.e. the 10 lost tribes of Yisro'el...who by the way, never came back, but melded into Assyrian culture where their very mixed-blood descendants are to this day...
The expression you used (i.e. 'The LORD' ) is an English paraphrase, and is merely the King James 1611 way of avoiding writing the name YHWH/YAHWEH outright, in the same way the Greek Septuaginta (LXX) and the other ancient Greek translations of the Hebrew Scriptures (many of which were based on older consonantal Hebrew MSS than the Masoretic, by the way (e.g. the Greek of Aquilla's translation, or of Symmachus or of Theodotion, all based on earlier and quite distinct (non matching) Hebrew text traditions) used to use the two words in Greek HO KURIOS whenever they came to the Tetragrammaton (name of the god YHWH, aka HaShem) in their own Hebrew and Aramaic textual underlays (Vorlagen) they were translating from.
So avoid using ther term The LORD in these discussions - it just makes you even more confused than you are already.
Instead, try to use YHWH or if you want to spell it out in full, use Yahweh.

The archaeological evidence suggests that the greater part of the population of Israel was of Canaanite origin; given this, one would expect the Israelites to worship a Canaanite god, but in the West Semitic world Yahweh was not worshiped outside Israel.[16] (West Semitic is the family of languages to which Hebrew belongs, along with Phoenician, Edomite, Moabite and a few others; they were similar enough to be mutually intelligible).[17]
Etymology
Most scholars accept that YHWH is made up of Y, meaning "he", plus a form of HWY, the root of a group of words connected with "being" and "becoming". Frank Moore Cross has suggested that the name Yahweh was originally combined with El as "El-Yahweh", like "El-Shaddai" and "El-Elyon" - El was the chief god of the Canaanite pantheon, and El-Yahweh is still found in a few places in the Old Testament (in psalm 50:1, for example). It would have originated as a description of El's appearance and blessing: "El who shows himself".[19] The author of Exodus 3:13–15 gives a similar explanation: God, asked by Moses for his name, provides three names: "I Am That I Am", followed by "I Am," and finally "YHWH":
The name of the post exilic clan god of Israel 'YHWH' (or YAHWEH) is related etymologically to the verb 'to be' or 'to live' apparently, but NO ONE (not even the Rebbes) knows for sure. It bears NO relation grammatically to EL ELYON (which is an ancient Cannanite clan god) or EL SHADDAI (another Cannanite clan god) despite the Persian Period late Editor (Ezra?) adding the phrase 'originally I revealed myself to your fathers as EL ELYON and El Shaddai etc. - this is a later gloss using a syncrestic technique of joining separate ancient cults together like the originally separate Egyptian gods Amun and Re becoming one composite god Amun-Re after their cults were joined into a single priesthood etc.
Yahweh and the Gods of Canaan – An Historical Analysis of Two Contrasting Faiths (1968),[7] which insisted on the essential otherness of Yahweh from the Canaanite gods from the very beginning of Israel's history. However, scholars of the Ancient Near East have since seen Yahweh worship as emerging from a West Semitic and Canaanite background.[8][9] Theophoric names, names of local gods similar to Yahweh, and archaeological evidence are used along with the Biblical source texts to describe pre-Israel origins of Yahweh worship, the relationship of Yahweh with local gods, and the manner in which Yahweh worship evolved into Jewish monotheism.

In the late Masoretic version of Exodus chapter 3 the name of the clan god seems to be something like [ALEPH-HE-YOD-HE] 'Heyei' as in Heyei ASHER Heyei - (literally, I am ASHUR I am), So it was originally NOT written as YHWH at all, but 'AHYH' only later in the verse to be morphed into YHWH.

"...an full open minded will asimilate anything, even if it's not the truth." Wow, quite a telling phrase. Opinions are one matter. Illogical, fragmented and sometimes frighteningly poor grammatical responses that do not address the issue in question don't assuage reader's suspicions regarding the commonly acknowledged normal mental state and sanity of some posters. Mental imbalance takes all forms folks.

"There is arhological evidence to sustain the claim. " There is no English language precedent that even correlates to that statement. Typical ............
So be very careful about the original meaning of YHWH - AHYH - from what we can see from Assyrian inscriptions (discovered recently) the name YHWH (and its cognates) is NOT Cannanite at all, but Syrian or Assyrian (some would post Akkadian) i.e. from the east during the invasions of the more sophisticated empires into Eretz Yisroel between BCE 721 and BCE 331...

Please try to relate to commonly accepted norms of communication and sanity. Where does "arhological " appear in any reasonable researchers dictionary? Can you even answer that?
I made a point that you were incapable of comprehending let alone addressing cogently. You see, making up words as well as nonsense and then defending it with even more bizarre and inarticulate responses only confirms suspicions of mental instability.

EL, El or el may refer to:

Another way in which the Slavs influenced the language of the Dacians of that time was pronunciation. Remembering that the Slavs had adopted the Latin spoken in that region, it is apparent that they would speak this second language with a quite heavy accent. The Romanian of today is pronounced somewhat differently than all of the other languages in its family. An example of pronunciation change that Niculescu gives is the yodization or palatalization of initial /e/ in the personal pronouns. Initial /e/ in most words is pronounced the same as in all Romance languages, but in the personal pronouns the sound has been palatalized, causing it to have an initial /y/ sound. So the word el (he) is pronounced /yel/ (49). Almost all of the linguists and historians who have studied this topic "uphold the idea that the Balkan and Slavic elements contributed to rounding off the individuality of Romanian as a Romance language" (Niculescu 48).

n the Canaanite religion, or Levantine religion as a whole, Eli or Il was the supreme god,[2] the father of humankind and all creatures and the husband of the goddess Asherah as recorded in the clay tablets of Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra, Syria).[2]
The word El was found at the top of a list of gods as the Ancient of gods or the Father of all gods, in the ruins of the royal archive of the Ebla civilization, in the archaeological site of Tell Mardikh in Syria dated to 2300 BC. The bull was symbolic to El and his son Ba'al Hadad, and they both wore bull horns on their headdress. [3][4][5][6] He may have been a desert god at some point, as the myths say that he had two wives and built a sanctuary with them and his new children in the desert. El had fathered many gods, but most important were Hadad, Yam, and Mot.

It does not. You are making things up again.

Thats very nice ! Are you able to address my comments? Rather than evade? Do you not invent words and expect others to be less inclined to believe in diminished mental acuity? Again, what is " arhological "? Do you even understand basic questions or is that too taxing?
