What does the Bible say about Jews worshiping God?
The verse is speaking of the God who made a covenant with Abraham and it clearly states Jewish people worship Him.

Who was the god of worship in the Old Testament?
The object of veneration in the Old Testament was the God of creation ( Gen 1:1-2 ), the God of covenant revelation ( Gen 12:1-3 ), and the God of redemptive Acts in history ( Exod 20:2-3 ). This God, Yahweh, merited the worship and devotion of the Hebrew people both for who he is and for what he does.
Do you think Jews and Christians worship the same God?
When looking at the New Testament, it does appear that Jewish people and Christians worship the same God. Four passages support this idea.

Why did God choose the Jews to be his chosen people?
