The hebrews: A religious legacy

Abstract

The first human settlements took place in the river banks such as the Euphrates, Tigris and Nile. Because of their fertility, those lands became the cradle of cultures that left an important legacy for the development of humanity. Within the framework of these cultures is the Hebrew that assuming foreign cultural aspects, reassembled them and made an original break to their culture, especially in the religious area by establishing unequivocally the monotheism, also outstanding buildings combining the religious with the astronomical, as well as the creation of a God with strong ethical background, transcending the national scope to an universal approach.Los primeros asentamientos humanos tuvieron lugar en las riberas de ríos como el Éufrates, Tigris y Nilo. Estas tierras, por su fertilidad, se convirtieron en cuna de culturas que dejaron un legado importante para el desarrollo de la humanidad.En el marco de esas culturas destaca la hebrea que asume aspectos culturales foráneos, los recompone y da un salto original en su cultura, especialmente en el ámbito religioso. Lo anterior al establecer inequívocamente el monoteísmo, realizar mejores construcciones (entre lo religioso y lo astronómico) y crear un Dios con fuerte contenido ético, que trasciende del ámbito nacional al universal.
