We speak of a “national concept” when a people makes its unity, spiritual coherence, historical character, traditions, origins and evolution, destiny and vocation the objects of its conscious life and the motive power behind its actions.

Martin Buber, On Zion

 

 

And He said: 'Behold, I make a covenant; before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of HaShem that I am about to do with thee, that it is tremendous.  Observe thou that which I am commanding thee this day; behold, I am driving out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.  Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest they be for a snare in the midst of thee.  But ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their Asherim.           For thou shalt bow down to no other G-d; for HaShem, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous G-d.

—Exodus 34:10-14
