The Hebrew God didn't start out as omnipotent and omniscient - just the studliest of the various gods that were around back then. He couldn't prevail against chariots of iron, for example. And he didn't know how many righteous people there were in Sodom until he apparently counted them after Abraham talked Him down from fifty to ten.

Re: AP (all powerful) and AK (all knowing) God?
it seems to me that the Genesis God is very much AP and AK.
​
Not so much:
Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
