In addition to the religious aspects, what was unusual about the formation of civilization among the Hebrews?
What will be an ideal response?
In addition to adhering to one of the earliest known forms of monotheism, the significant characteristic of Hebrew society was that the Israelites managed to build a civilization without most of the characteristic elements of other civilizations. These characteristic elements included a sedentary population, cities, writing, organized infrastructure with law and government, social ordering, and divisions of labor. After the disruption of early Abrahamic civilization due to the capture, enslavement, and then reestablishment of Israelite civilization after the Exodus led by Moses, there was a brief period of city building and traditional civilization, but it was disrupted again by Assyrian capture and the subsequent Babylonian captivity. What makes the Hebrew peoples unique is the idea of a cultural identification with a place as bound by the terms of the Covenant.
