Let’s discuss the concept of God in Judaism. It’s mentioned in the Old Testament in the

Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter No. 6, Verse No. 4, Moses (peace be upon him) says,

"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adonai Ikhad." That “Hear, O lord…: Hear, O Israel! The LORD our God is one God”

It’s mentioned in the

Book of Isaiah Chapter No. 43, Verse No. 11, ‘I, I am Lord and there is no Savior besides Me.’

It’s mentioned in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter No. 45, Verse No. 5, ‘I am Lord, and there is none else, there’s no God besides Me.’

It’s mentioned in the Book of Isaiah, Chapter No. 45.. ch. no. 46, Verse No. 9, ‘I am God, and there is none else. I am God, and there is none like me’.

It’s further mentioned in the Book of Exodus, Chapter No. 20, Verses no. 2 to 5, as well as in the

Book of Deuteronomy, Ch. No. 5, Verse No.7 to 9, All Mighty God says

‘Thou shall have no other Gods besides Me’. Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image of anything, of any likeness, in the heaven above, in the earth beneath, and the water under the earth. Thou shall not bow down to them, nor serve them, for I thy God, thy Lord, is a jealous God.’

So if you read the Old Testament or if you read the Torah, you should understand the concept of God in Judaism and understand Judaism in the right perspective.
