The Story of the Hebrews
So how does the monotheistic Jewish religion emerge?

Around 1800 BCE, there is a
man named Abraham
•
He lived in Sumer, in Ur (a
city-state).
Abraham says no to polytheism
•
Rejected polytheism practiced
by the Sumerians
•
Abraham believed in only one
god which he called Yahweh.
The Story of the Hebrews (cont’d):
•
Abraham made an agreement
(covenant) with Yahweh:

Abraham = agrees to obey Yahweh
•
Yahweh = will protect the Jewish
people (Abraham and his
descendants)
•
Abraham = “father” of the Hebrew
people.

Yahweh commanded Abraham to
move his family

From Ur  Canaan.
Fun fact: Canaan means “promise
land”.

Palestine.
