Israelite Religion

Israelite religion, the spiritual tradition of ancient Israel, centered on belief in one God, Yahweh, who established a covenant with the Israelites. It involved following commandments outlined in texts like the Torah, emphasizing ethical behavior, justice, and community worship. Practices included sacrifices, festivals, prayer, and adherence to religious laws that guided daily life. This religion laid the foundation for Judaism and shaped the spiritual and cultural identity of the Israelites, emphasizing a personal relationship with God and commitment to social and moral responsibilities within their community.
