The cult of Yahweh. Yahweh started as one of the the 70 cananite gods, specifically god of storms and war. The cult of Yahweh believed Yahweh was also El, the head god. The founding of the cult was attributed to Abraham. They built the first temple to him, which was destroyed when they were enslaved. Then in exile it transformed from Yahweh being El to Yahweh being the only god, the full transformation happening with Moses. They go to the promised land, the second temple is built, Rome conqueres the Levant, the messiah arrives and fulfills profecies, dies, jews rebel, the second temple is destroyed, and everyone scatters.
