YHWH, The Arabic Impassioned God

Here is another article on YHWH being the God of the Arabic-speaking Midianites Moses lived with for forty years before the Hebrew exodus from Egypt:

Hey, if God in you can prove He is God with you, whether in the desert, on a mountain, or on an island in the ocean, go with it. What is so strange about the true God being found by desert nomads who depended so heavily upon Him? What did they find? That God is their guide, their protector in storms, wars, and famine, that He gave them success, that He is the Great Provider: Eil Shaddai. That God is someone to be grateful to. Abraham believed He could raise the dead. But they didn't know that God LOVED them, that He was YHWH: the Impassioned One who LOVES them.

Oops. In editing I wrote that paragraph a second time. This is how I first wrote it:

So what did the Kenites, Midianites, and Yehwaites learn about YHWH? They learned that He was there for them in the barren desert, in storms and in wars. He gave them success. He was a guide, a protector, and a savior. He was to the desert dwellers Eil Shaddai, the Provider. Is it strange that those who must depend upon God should find Him? It was to Moses He first revealed that He was YHWH, the Impassioned One who loves His creation, His Manifestation. I hold that biblical names reflect their characters' natures. Perhaps 'ehyeh 'asher 'ehyeh should be translated "I Love It," and YHWH "He Loves," for God's nature is Love.

First aside: The above linked article states that the Kenites were descendants of Cain. I think Noah would care to dispute that. The Kenite name was derived from the Arabic cain, which meant smith. They were copper smiths. See Wikipedia article on Kenites.
