Abstract

Both the idea of divine law and the development of monotheism are specific
and decisive elements in the history of religion attested by the Hebrew Bible.
This article presents an analysis of Deuteronomy 4, the only text in the Hebrew
Bible in which the revelation of divine law and an explicit monotheistic claim are
systematically related. Compared to the conceptions of law in the ancient Near East
and ancient Greece, Deuteronomy 4 is shown to have made an important contribution
to the specific identity of emergent Judaism.
