I don't think it's correct to say that the Abrahamic tradition "acknowledges" (in the present tense) the existence of other gods.
Not "present". But one can't edit the "scriptures". And it clearly says "gods". So, it is part of the Abrahamic tradition. Jews are actually stuck with it. Xians could have avoided it, but they decided to keep the OT and just add the NT, so they're stuck with it, too. Muslims probably could have done likewise, but they also kept the first five books.
Since they can't change the "inspired word of god", the chief deity -allegedly- said "thou shalt have no gods before me". Plural. The Jews -as I understand it- accepted such existence, but only worshipped their guy. Been a long time since I saw the movie, but the Jews would accept Crom even as they worshipped the Sky God that was -by definition- above Crom. (Forget the name of that god...been a long time.)
