Another answer from our community:Yahweh was undoubtedly worshiped from the earliest moment of time by Adam when He first was spoken to by God in the garden after his creation by God. Yahweh of course being the proper name that the one true God of The Bible was called after this was revealed to Moses at the burning bush.
Those who retain belief in the 18th to 19th century idea of the evolution of religion from primitive polytheism to henotheism to montheism put it much later.
In the light of recent evidence and shifting theological consensus, it is reasonable to state that worship of Yahweh began in Eden. Worship of Yahweh in terms of the actual use of the revealed divine name began at the time of Moses around 1440 BC.
The biblical answer is that the Israelites began to worship God from the time of Abraham, some four thousand years ago, although the Bible says that they were constant backsliders who went after other gods.
Scholars say that monotheism was imposed, with varying degrees of success in the seventh century BCE during the reign of King Josiah, but this does not mean they did not already worship God - just that they had also worshipped other gods.
The supreme God of Israel seems to have been known as Elohim, suggesting he may have been perceived as different to the supreme God of early Judah, who was known as Yahweh(Jehovah). If they began as different Gods, syncretism into a single God seems to have taken place some time after the destruction of Israel in 722 BCE, when large numbers of Israelites fled south into Judah.
Scholars say that the biblical author they refer to as the "Yahwist" (or "J source") wrote parts of what would become the Book of Genesis during the ninth century BCE. However, worship of Yahweh is undoubtedly older than that. Michaela Davey (Mastering Theology) says that it seems clear that YHWH (Yahweh) was a mountain and storm god. Thus, Yahweh was probably absorbed by the southern Hebrew (Judahite) culture from earlier storm gods of the Judahite neighbours.
