Vast Review Finds No Evidence That the Torah Laws Were Commonly Observed Before the Second Century B.C.E., Says Prof. Yonatan Adler. Not All Agreewww.haaretz.com
The author thinks it was the second half of the second century BCE... with the Hasmodians in reaction to Antiochus IV Epiphanies' efforts to Hellenize the Jews.
Israel Finkelstein agrees sort of. .. that it began to emerge after the Babylonian exile.
My understanding is that one Canaanite tribe established a covenant with one of the Canaanite gods of their pantheon. This likely happened about 3,000 years ago. They would only worship that one god though they accepted there were others. Since paganism was very transactional, they were dedicated to the covenant when things were going well for them but tended to worship other gods when the times were not so good. I think they only became a true monotheistic religion in response to the rise of Christianity and its' stronger monotheism. IMHO.When did Judaism emerge? Far later than assumed, new theory suggests

Christianity is not monotheistic like Judiasm since it places the idol Jesus in front of g-d and further worship a three part triune godhead... Therefore stating Christianity has a stronger monotheism is far far from the truth... Further I find other errors in what you have stated but I am not interested in having a long drawn out conversation over items regarding the use of a three thousand year time frame...
You didn't bother to read the article.
You can presume rather than read.

I’ve read many articles and have taken many classes, and they say differently than what the article you picked says.
Man made time frames are always getting pushed back for example it was thought mankind first started using fire for cooking some 170000 years ago but there was an article that came out yesterday that pushed back the date to nearly 800000 years ago in ancient Israel where they where using clay stoves if my memory serves me correctly... My point is Surada can search for a time frame when “Judiasm” emerged and all the “ experts” can agree and then some other evidence will come along to completely make a mockery of their concepts and thinking....It is rather humorous...
The source says 4000 years:
Judaism: Founder, Beliefs, Sects, History & Holidays
Abraham founded the religion of Judaism nearly 4,000 years ago.www.history.com
You will have to prove that knowledge
I posted from the History.com site and an educational site, also reputable.
