Thou shalt not worship false idols" is a commandment from the Bible, Exodus 20:4-6, which states:
"You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below"
"You shall not bow down to them or worship them"
"For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God"

The commandment is also known as the Second Commandment against idolatry. It prohibits the creation of idols in the likeness of anything in the heavens, on earth, or in the waters. This is to emphasize God's authority over all creation and to call for exclusive devotion to Him.
The Bible portrays idols in a negative moral light, using terms such as "non-God", "vanity", "iniquity", "wind and confusion", "the dead", and "carcasses".

@nlwilson4892 The history of urbanization is the process of humans moving from rural to urban settings. It began thousands of years ago, and has accelerated over time.
Early urbanization
Neolithic Period: Humans began to form small, permanent settlements around 10,000 BCE.
Hunter-gatherer villages: Hunter-gatherers began to accumulate into villages, which were characterized by communal behavior and intimate relationships.
Urbanization in the Industrial Revolution
Britain
Urbanization accelerated in Britain during the Industrial Revolution, as the country transitioned from an organic to a fossil fuel economy.
Marriage
Marriage patterns shifted to be more sociable, with people tending to marry someone from the same social group, geographical location, or job.
Urbanization in the modern era
Population explosion
The population explosion of the last three centuries has led to a sustained increase in urbanization.
Urban planning
Urban planning has evolved over time, with planners using modernism to create efficient urban designs.
Factors that affect urbanization
Agricultural productivity: The productivity of agriculture affects urbanization levels. When agriculture is low-yielding and requires a lot of labor, people are more likely to live in rural areas.
Urban death rates: Urban death rates have also limited urbanization levels in the past.

Mandatory Palestine[a][5] was a geopolitical entity that existed between 1920 and 1948 in the region of Palestine under the terms of the League of Nations Mandate for Palestine.
After an Arab uprising against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War in 1916, British forces drove Ottoman forces out of the Levant.[6] The United Kingdom had agreed in the McMahon–Hussein Correspondence that it would honour Arab independence in case of a revolt but, in the end, the United Kingdom and France divided what had been Ottoman Syria under the Sykes–Picot Agreement—an act of betrayal in the eyes of the Arabs. Another issue was the Balfour Declaration of 1917, in which Britain promised its support for the establishment of a Jewish "national home" in Palestine. Mandatory Palestine was then established in 1920, and the British obtained a Mandate for Palestine from the League of Nations in 1922.[7]
During the Mandate, the area saw successive waves of Jewish immigration and the rise of nationalist movements in both the Jewish and Arab communities. Competing interests of the two populations led to the 1936–1939 Arab revolt in Palestine and the 1944–1948 Jewish insurgency in Mandatory Palestine. The United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine to divide the territory into two states, one Arab and one Jewish, was passed in November 1947. The 1948 Palestine war ended with the territory of Mandatory Palestine divided among the State of Israel, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which annexed territory on the West Bank of the Jordan River, and the Kingdom of Egypt, which established the "All-Palestine Protectorate" in the Gaza Strip.
Mandatory Palestine was designated as a Class A Mandate, based on its social, political, and economic development. This classification was reserved for post-war mandates with the highest capacity for self-governance.[8] All Class A mandates other than mandatory Palestine had gained independence by 1946.[9]
