going to be like. There were four stages of how the Hebrew religion came to be what it was. The first stage was that Hebrews were polytheists, which means that they believed in many gods. The second stage was the national monolatry, which was begun by Moses that lasted from 1250 B.C.E. to 750 B.C.E..
