Isaiah is a newer prophet when Israel was conquered by Babylon. The Pentateuch is much much older. The argument of Isaiah is about the development of God of Israel was the great of all the gods to their is no other gods. > Epic of Gilgamesh The whole argument is to ask when was the Pentateuch was written. The scholarship for this has had many arguments with people placing it in 700 BCE (Which was just crazy especially if you read Hebrew) many are placing it to the discovery of written language. Prior to written language we had a very strong oral history. Both Gilgamesh and the Pentateuch have evidence pointing to the discovery of a written language. We have ancient Hebrew (What a pain to read) and it does show a strong relation with Egyptian discovery of writing. Another interesting this is the uniqueness of the Pentateuch to the other writings from ANE (I had to read a ton of them). The academic discipline in these writing is really interesting and to say that one influenced another is pretty much impossible to do, but it has been shown since the 1860s onward that archeology have discovered allot of sites that date way before what people were thinking and we continue to learn more and more.
