In fact, the crescent moon is more closely associated with Y@hovah than Allah (Eloah). The very word Yahh יה developed from the crescent moon. Yah of course being the 1st half of the term Yah-Weh (Yehovah YHWH יהוה ). Here are some examples:
* Y@riychow ירחו (Jericho) = City of the Moon, (H3405)
* Yareach ירח = Crescent Moon. (H3394)
E.A. Wallis Budge the worlds most renowned Egyptologist defined the Egyptian Glyph "Aah" (Yah) as a Moon deity in his Egyptian Hieroglyphic dictionary and equated it directly to the Hebraic word Yareach ירח
Here we have a very apparent tribute to the MOON in your Torah.Gen 37:9 "And he dreamed 02492 yet another 0312 dream 02472, and told 05608 it his brethren 0251, and said 0559 , Behold, I have dreamed 02492 a dream 02472 more; and, behold, the sun 08121 and the [moon 03394 yareach ירח] and the eleven 06240 0259 stars 03556 made [obeisance 07812 shachah שחה (As-Sajda - prostration سورة السجدة )] to me."
"Early in Canaanite religion, the male moon-god, "Yerach," was the chief god of the pantheon. And the female sun-god, "Shamash," was his cohort. Later, these were changed to Baal and Ashteroth. "To judge from Canaanite place-names of the earliest period, such as Jericho and Beit-Yerach, as well as from Non-Semitic personal and place names of the 2nd millenium BC, the cult of the sun-god and moon-god (or goddess) was at its height in very early times and steadily declined thereafter" (W.F. Albright, Archaeology and the Religion of Israel, p. 92, also p. 83)."
"Röth (Die Aegypt. und die Zoroastr. Glaubenslehre, 1846, p. 175) derives the Hebrew name [Yahweh] from the ancient moon-god Ih or Ioh."
