    If I understand it right, the Jewish God came from a pantheon, and didn’t just respect other pantheons. Like it was equivalent to a group of people who worshipped the Roman gods and then said “Yeahhh, but we’re going to pick Vulcan as our main guy.”

      Proto Jewdism was highly influenced by Egyptian religion. Many themes and plots being pulled from there. It wasn’t until these proto-Jews spent time around Zoroastrianism that the religion really took its modern form.

      There is evidence of proto-Jews worshiping other gods but there is no evidence of worship of more than one God though.
