Best Answer
AnswerIn ancient times, each nation had its own gods and its own scriptures, which described the people of that nation as powerful, righteous or otherwise more worthy than the people of any other nation. The scriptures of most of the ancient Near Eastern nations have ceased to exist or are only of interest to scholars, but the scriptures of Judaism have come down to us as The Bible. We now read in the Bible how the Israelites were more powerful, righteous and otherwise more worthy than their neighbours.
