Or how the very first commandment ("You shall have no other gods before me") points at the early Henotheism in Judasim ("we accept that other gods exist, but this one god is our main one"). It became monotheist ("our god is the only one that exists") with Zoroastrian influence from Persia during the second temple period.
So many directions to go with actual history.
