What hatred nimrod? Hebrews are the greatest pantheists of all if you look at their early origins which all about their animals & little birdies & bees, vineyards & land of milk & honey . Of how many & which animals to have priests bless before the 100's & 1000's were sacrificed and burnt upon the altars. You're constant editorializing that i 'hate' is just your imbecilic inability to grasp i am only pointing out the real crude primitiveness of all that early nonsense, they were no different than any other pagan peoples of that time.

Yes, far later the rabbinic thought becomes more philosophicaly sophisticated around 500AD after a full 800yrs of exposure to Hellene & Roman culture (and Persian!). We see this plainly with Jesus who himself grows up in the midst of Hellene cities in Galilee and was unmistakably effected by that imbued Hellene wisdom. Alexandria where most of the educated & wisest Jews lived were the fabricators of all that.

The same sea change we see happening just post exile, they imitate Babylonian religious ritual priest hoods what name you apply to the 'god' is of no matter. The Hebrews were all afire for what huge templates for religious scripture & ritual worship they saw in Babylon and even greater bulk of wisdom sayings & stories like the flood, that went back over 2000yrs then.

Most all early synagogue walls were decorated with very lovely art depicting the animals, vines, flora & fauna, the sun. They were not supposed to rercreate human form so they opted for this pantheistic expression, or love of nature. Though Hebrews were not ever reknowned for having much skill as artists , only after the Greeks migrate in do they finally gain those artstic abilities.

This is why the bible is being honest admitting that Solomon was helpless & couldn't even build his own temple but had to enlist the aid of a phoenician king of Tyre to lend the craftsman, for they had no skills then being primitives. Which prompts me to ask, why after spending those 400yrs in Egypt and that almost 500yrs before with moses 1500BC did they learn no skills at all then after all that time? (fairytale)

Jews are most pantheistic people originally, and still are.
