Judaism, the oldest of the world's three great monotheistic religions, is the parent of Christianity and many other faiths. Although they lived in a world noted for its multitude of gods, the Israelites were different in that they worshipped only one, so holy that his name could not be uttered. he had chosen the people of Israel to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, and in a solemn agreement know as the covenant, the Israelites promised to obey God and fulfill His commandments. This covenant between God and the people is the foundation of the Jewish religion.
