There was one overarching difference, which was that the Jews (hebrews) worshipped only one God. Another difference was that the Jews' God was personal, while the contemporary religions' gods were angry, not caring about the individual. Also, although most of the Old Testament seems to deny this, the book of Job states that bad things happen to good people as well as bad people. This idea was ahead of its time and certainly unique in the ancient world.
