the jewish god to the jews is that they can worship him wherever they want to, highlands, pasturelands, etc. just like Abraham, Moses did.
After Solomon has built the temple, the prists and the government want to centralize their power, collect the money, and control all the people, they start to require jewish people to worship only at the temple, and ban other places.
Of course, they have to say that it is an order from god.
In fact, many jews do not agree, and they consider Solomon's temple a pagan product. They oppose this ban fiercely and continue to worship and offer at their local places.
Of course, these prists get all killed, in the name of god.
THIS IS, of course, real history, not fable or bible stories.
hehe.
