When the Israelites first settled in Canaan, they all worshipped a number of gods, and were like children in their religious ideas and practices; they were not at all different from their neighbors. Gradually the more enlightened among them came to see that it was better for them to worship only their own god, Yahwe, and they thought of him as not only powerful but also holy and just. Then men like Amos said that Yahwe, though he was the God of Israel, was also the ruler of all the nations. Fin...ally, in the Exile, the deepest thinkers Digitized by VjOOQ IC 76 THE HISTORY OP THE came to the conclusion that the idols of the other natious were nothing, and that there was only one God in the world, and he was Israel's holy God. When they had once got hold of this idea, they never lost it; after this, idolatry could not tempt them, for they despised it. God was bringing them on by a sure path to know him. Perhaps the more enlightened and spiritual of the Jews would have reached this faith in the one God (monotheism) even if they had stayed in their own land ; but the chastisement of exile made them more thoughtful, and at the same time, by breaking up the government, brought the better people together into a society or church, and in this way hastened the result.
