Yep
Are you seriously saying that "elohim" and "adonai" aren't references to the same entity?
As a matter of fact, there is a body of scholarship that clearly distinguishes between El, Elohim, and YHWH. See, for example, Canaanite Myth and Hebrew Epic by Frank M. Cross.

Re: Yep
... two different titles for god were used.
Not "two different titles for god", but of two different Gods later conflated into a single Deity, with Elohim often referring to the Divine Council (as in Deut. 32:8).

Re: Joseph Campbell
Jews come in as younger brothers. They come in as barbaric Bedouins from the desert, into highly sophisticated agricultural areas, and they're declaring that although the others are the elders - as Cain was, the founder of cities and all that - they are God's favorite.
Baseless sophistry. Note the glaring absence of evidence supporting this babble.
