Religion in the Hebrew Bible

Religion in the Hebrew Bible centers on the relationship between God (Yahweh) and the people of Israel. It emphasizes worship, divine laws, moral conduct, and the covenant—a sacred agreement—highlighting obedience and faithfulness to God. The text presents stories of God's actions, commandments, rituals, and promises, shaping Israel's identity and moral code. It also explores themes of faith, obedience, justice, and trust in God's guidance, serving as both spiritual guidance and a foundation for Jewish faith and practice.
