To understand what the Hebrews did to please their gods, we need to look at their religious practices outlined in the Hebrew Bible (also known as the Old Testament). The Hebrews, who were ancient Israelites, believed in one God, whom they worshipped and sought to please.

Here are some of the main ways the Hebrews expressed their devotion and sought to please God:

1. Ritual Sacrifices: The Hebrews performed various animal sacrifices as offerings to God. These sacrifices were seen as a way to atone for sins, express thanks, or seek God's favor. The specific types of sacrifices and rituals were outlined in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the book of Leviticus.

2. Observance of Commandments: The Hebrews followed a set of laws and commandments given to them by God, as detailed in the Torah (the first five books of the Hebrew Bible). By obeying these commandments, such as the Ten Commandments, they believed they were honoring and pleasing God.

3. Worship and Prayer: The Hebrews engaged in communal worship and individual prayer. They gathered in synagogues and later in the Temple in Jerusalem to offer prayers, recite psalms, and engage in other forms of liturgical worship.

4. Repentance and Atonement: The Hebrews had rituals and practices for seeking forgiveness and reconciliation with God. Through sincere repentance, confession of sins, and seeking forgiveness, they believed they could restore their relationship with God.

5. Observance of Holy Days and Festivals: The Hebrews celebrated various religious holidays and festivals prescribed in the Hebrew Bible, such as Passover, Shavuot, and Yom Kippur. These special occasions involved specific rituals, feasts, and acts of devotion.

It is important to note that these practices evolved over time and varied among different Jewish communities. The Hebrews' religious practices changed significantly after the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem, leading to the development of modern Judaism.
