When did absolute monotheism or universalism become a part of Judaism?
Keishafloyd
Genesis 17:8 tells us that, during the covenant (agreement) made between G-d and Abraham, G-d said: "The whole land of Canaan, where you are now an alien, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendents after you; and I will be their G-d."
This can be interpreted as G-d telling Abraham that he will be be blessed with a great number of descendents who will own what became Israel as their homeland in return for recognising Him as their only god.
According to students of the Torah, Abraham was born 1,948 years after the Creation and lived for 175 years, which would date his life at around 1812BCE (BC) to 1637BCE - though it should be noted that there is disagreement; for example, the Book of Jubilees (an ancient Jewish text) places his birth at 1876 years after the Creation - we can assume that monotheism was adopted by the ancient Hebrews between 3,646 and 3,821 years ago.

Why did monotheism become a religion?

What was the first to teach monotheism or belief in one god?
A:Lang, cited by Keel and Uehlinger (Gods, Goddesses and Images of God in Ancient Israel) tells us of the beliefs of the Hebrew people: "In the four and a half centuries during which there were one or two Israelite monarchies (ca. 1020-586 B.C.), there was a dominant, polytheistic religion that was indistinguishable from that of neighboring peoples." This all began to change with the reign of King Josiah in the seventh century BCE. He introduced religious reforms that included making monotheism the official religion of the Jews. However, many scholars say that these reforms were only partly successful and that polytheism continued to be practised by the ordinary people until the Babylonian Exile. In the event, monotheistic Judaism did become the religion of all Jews.
