Yahwism

Religion of ancient Israel and Judah

Yahwism, also known as the Israelite religion, was the ancient Semitic religion of the Israelites of ancient Israel and Judah. The Israelite religion appears to have been closely related to Canaanite religion, and scholars argue that Israelite religion was not originally monotheistic, instead sharing similar beliefs with its neighbors.

The primary deity of the religion and the head of the pantheon was Yahweh, the national god of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel. Some scholars speculate that the goddess Asherah was the consort of Yahweh, though some scholars disagree.
