Answer 1

pleaseee help

Answer 2

Do you know anything about Israelists or Mesopotamians separately?

Answer 3

I can help with a part of the answer: The Israelites (I think I got the right spelling this time) are known to believe in monotheism, meaning "belief of one God". To them, God is the heavenly creator and (in the bible) is known to strike down and kill disobedient children because of their sins, for example showing pride and not worshiping Him.

Answer 4

so D?

Answer 5

No. Their lifestyle reflected the Ten Commandments (Found in the book of Exodus) and they feared God because he is 'Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent' (all-powerful, all-knowing, and present at all times and places)

Answer 6

The key word: Monotheism
What I mean by 'they feared God' is that they had a respect for God. He could smite them off the earth at his own will if you did not follow his rules.

Answer 7

Sorry about the change in pronouns/point of views, but did I make sense?
