oh, dear, now I need to dust off my bible again...

first off:
gen.1:7 - and God made the firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so

so: the firmament ain't the water

now, on other gods:
gen.4:22 - and the Lord God said, behold, the man is become as one of us
exodus20:3 - thou shalt have no other gods before me. thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image (icon), or any likeness of any thing (totem symbols, etc...) that is in heaven above, in the earth below, or in the water...Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God...
exodus22:20 - He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed

multiple indications of more than one god: use of the plural, also specific mention to earthly things (presumably critters AND other "things" like material wealth etc...) in ADDITION TO the other gods.

all hurriedly typed from the KJV.
what does the Hebrew say?

and, as a side note, what the hell would "two ouches of gold" be???
