ABSTRACT
Judaism affirms that God is perfect. The idea of the Divine perfection is implicitly contained in the very idea of God. It is quite true that the Bible sometimes uses language which, if taken literally, would imply that God has bodily organs and even human imperfections. Israel cannot be both God's bride and His first-born. The Satan of the Hebrew Bible is devoid of the chief attributes of a devil. He hinders man rather than tempts him. It is quite impossible to find a Jew who, when confronted with his own wrong-doing, will plead that the Devil tempted him, as though his will had been overborne for the time being by a baleful Power against whom it was hopeless to struggle. The doctrine of the Divine Unity is the corner-stone of the Jewish religion.
