The Exodus Experience in Egypt
There was this orthodox, correct stream of israelite religion that focused on the one true god and not on these other gods. But there was also a cultural matrix that the israelites found themselves in of people who did worship other gods. And so there was a kind of a hybrid, a situation between the worship of the true god away and the worship of these other Gods. The fire of the exilic experience, in being taken into other lands really cured them of this. After this, jews tend to be much more orthodox in their approach to their religion.
