land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.You shall
have no other gods before Me.”
In the Hebrew Bible, God speaks these words to Moses
to explain a belief that set the Israelites apart from all
other people of the ancient world at that time. Instead
of worshipping many gods, the Israelites prayed to just
one God for guidance and patience.
