Of course he's the God of warriors and storms, he's the God of everything, duh.
"Dr. Justin Sledge" of "Esoterica" reports at 4:30, "Virtually everything I'm going to say in this episode can and would be taken up, taken to task by an army of specialists and can in no way, in no way taken to be definitive because there is simply that little consensus among the specialists."
However, he does seem to be taking a fair though higher-critical tack, and is presenting the evidence that can be backed up scientifically. The Soleb inscription by Amenhotep III ca. 1400 BC is legitimate and I was unaware of it; it contains reed-reed, reed-shelter, lasso, quail-chick, spelling Y, H, W', W, and it depicts a Semitic shasu (nomad). So this is not a far-out review and is more moderate than Eric Coomer, but it's not fundamentalist either.
However, many lines of evidence show the linguistic traditions are much older than the higher critics give them credit for; I've documented several sources, like the Rhind and Hearst papyri, consistent with the Exodus being part of the Hyksos expulsion in 1539 BC, and Deuteronomy's suzerainty form of 1499 BC is much older than the oldest document admitted by OP, Deborah's song of 1308 BC (by which time the dominant Levantine treaty form had changed significantly). Ahmose's Tempest Stele (18th dynasty) is sometimes almost verbatim with the plagues of Exodus 7-12. Therefore OP is not extremely problematic but seeks a relatively rational critical approach.
