Quid pro quo? Not so much

In Israelite theology, Yahweh, unlike the gods of the rest of the ancient world, has no needs. The gods of the ANE created the cosmos (and eventually people) for themselves; Yahweh created for the sake of the creation, not to provide people to meet his needs. He is taking care of them, but not for the same reason that drove the Great Symbiosis. Many responses that Israel might make to Yahweh are appropriate (e.g., praise, glory, worship, order), but he does not need them, and he did not enter into the covenant relationship to get them. Likewise, Yahweh has not initiated this relationship in order to give something to Israel (e.g., blessing, enlightenment, happiness, prosperity, salvation, or morality). Yahweh is proclaiming his reputation as suzerain of Israel, his vassals. Quid pro quo is abolished.—Walton and Walton, The Lost World of the Torah, 71–72
