It focused on monotheism instead of polytheism. Judaism religion only focused on one God and was very different from various religions during the ancient times and in the same period. They only had YHWH, as God. The description of this follows as YHWH instituted the laws, known as the Ten Commandments. And its laws as it states the first commandment: There are no other gods other than YHWH. In which this verifies the divergence of the Judaism religion.

Step-by-step explanation:

Monotheism - this is often the idea that there's only 1 G-d. Judaism was the primary unionised religion to be monotheistic and to insist that followers stay loyal to and worship solely the one true G-d, and zilch and no-one else. This was in stark distinction to the various Pagan and Mystery religions around at the time, that featured multiple deities. Covenant: - Ibrahim, the 'founder' of Judaism, created a continuous covenant with G-d, on behalf of his descendants. The covenant, or contract, states that G-d can defend and go over the Jews if they continue to be loyal to him and solely him. If they did that, G-d secure to bless them and to form from them 'great nations'.
