ZitatA structure once believed to form part of an ancient town is identified as a 5,000-year old monument believed to have been used to honour the Mesopotamian moon god 'Sin' ...
...One of the most important gods in Mesopotamian mythology, Sin, also known as ‘Nanna’, is symbolised as a crescent moon and is often depicted riding on a winged bull.
The structure was found close to the ancient Israeli town of Bet Yerah, which translates as "house of the moon god", and is believed to have been linked to the town's religious community....
I've seen a number of arguments, for and against the idea that "Allah" was another name for the moon god that the "gentiles" worshiped during OT times. Either way, these would have been some of the people and their gods referred to in the Bible.
