How did the religion of the israelites differ from the religion of the mesopotamians?

Judaism differed from other ancient religions in the followingways: 1) It was the only religion in which God spoke to the entireassembled nation (Exodus ch.19) of over two mil…lion people. 2) It made a complete break from the surrounding idolatry. Theirmonotheism (belief in One God) set the Jews apart because otherancient nations did not share it. We've heard (for example) of theGreek mythology and Roman mythology. What not everyone is aware ofis that idolatry tended to go hand in hand with cruel, licentiousand excessive behavior, since the caprices which were narratedconcerning the idols were adopted as an excuse to imitate thosetypes of behavior. Compare that to God, who reveals His attributes in the Torah aswise, kind, holy, and pure. God is One, so the command to imitateHis attributes (Deuteronomy 8:6) was (and is) a straightforwardmatter once one is even minimally familiar with the Torah. Accordingly, Judaism was: 3) The only ancient religion in which a large percentage of itsadherents were literate and scholars. 4) It was the only religion in which the people were ruled by God,with no need for a king, for several centuries (see Judges 8:23 and1 Samuel 8:4-7). 5) The concept of morality was also the work of the Hebrews'religion, including the dignity and value of a person. It is theresponsibility of the community to support the widow, the orphan,the poor, and the stranger passing through. 6) Under the law of Judaism, everyone had recourse to the courts. Achild, widow, wife, etc., could initiate legal action against anycitizen to redress perpetrated harm. Compare this to thosesocieties in which (at most) only mature, land-owning males hadrights. 7) Government is accountable to a higher authority. In otherancient societies, the monarch was all-powerful. Among theIsraelites, however, the king was under the constant scrutiny ofthe Divinely-informed prophets, who didn't hesitate to castigatehim publicly for any misstep in the sight of God. And, other thanfor the crime of rebellion, the king couldn't punish any citizen byhis own decision. He was obligated by the Torah-procedures likeeveryone else. 8) A robber repays double to his victim, or works it off. Unlike inmany other ancient societies, in Judaism debtors are not imprisonedor harmed. They are made to sell property and/or work to repay whatthey owe. Compare this to the Roman practice by which anyone couldaccuse a man of owing them money and the debtor could be killed. It is important to note that every one of the above existed inJudaism thousands of years earlier than in other nations. Here's justone example: Aristotle, who was among the greatest of the Greeks,and Seneca, the famous Roman, both write that killing one's youngbabies is perfectly acceptable. (MORE)
