Yahweh was the national god of ancient Israel and Judah. The origins of his worship reach at least to the early Iron Age,and likely to the Late Bronze Age if not somewhat earlier. In the oldest biblical literature he possesses attributes typically ascribed to weather and war deities,fructifying the land and leading the heavenly army against Israel's enemies. Most scholars are of the view that at that time the Israelites were polytheistic and worshipped him alongside a variety of Canaanite gods and goddesses,including El,Asherah and Baal. In later centuries,El and Yahweh became conflated and El-linked epithets such as El Shaddai came to be applied to Yahweh alone,and other gods and goddesses such as Baal and Asherah were absorbed into Yahwist religion. According to other scholars,however,the exclusive worship of Yahweh was widespread before the Babylonian exile,and such Israelite monolatry may have even existed before the rise of the United Monarchy. In Iron Age I,Yahweh's cult center appears to have been Shiloh;by Iron Age II,it had been supplanted by Jerusalem,where the deity was enshrined in a Temple containing the Ark of the Covenant.
