Ancient Hebrew texts reveal a profound transformation: mythological elements persisted in biblical language while being systematically stripped of their pagan meanings. Through comparative theological analysis drawing on Ernst Cassirer, Martin Buber, and William F. Albright, a pattern emerges of "archaic demythologizing" during the Hebrew Bible's formation. Textual analysis and examination of etymological survivals from ancient Near Eastern mythologies demonstrate how Babylonian chaos-dragon imagery evolved into neutral descriptive language, while pagan festival structures were repurposed for historical commemoration. The methodology reveals that biblical consciousness ultimately rejected deterministic fate in favor of human ethical autonomy, representing a paradigmatic shift from mythological determinism to ethical freedom of choice. Beyond mere linguistic survivals from ancient mythologies, the Hebrew Bible's distinctive character lies in its "post-mythological" emphasis on individual moral responsibility, historical progress toward justice, and this-worldly salvation rather than cyclical mythological patterns.
