:
I read the entire GNB Bible back to front (minus Psalms) a year or two ago. As far as I can remember no such event occurs.

Just bear in mind, pious dork that I am, the Bible is kind of an impenetrable boring tome for me (not nearly as much as the Qu'ran, mind you, that thing reads with the excitement of a guide to opening a small business). So I'm paraphrasing something that a
nother pious dork told me, and his description was just as, if not moreso, paraphrased and obtuse.
I think this is one of those things where it might depend on which 'translation' you've read. I'm also being as vague about it as medically possible. I'mma check back with my friend and then quote the whole thing. A lot of Biblical mythology (because that's what it is, a mythos for lessons on how to behave) is pretty darn cool.
I'm going through a weird in-between phase right now.
:
As far as I know only one other contemporary god is mentioned, and has since been interpreted as an angel or demon. There are some relics in the Old Testament that hark back to the days before the Israelites became properly monotheistic. Other gods are often discussed as though they are real. The Israelites just weren't supposed to worship them.

That's the spice. The description I was given specified a sort of heavenly roundtable discussion with some other deities.
