How did Mesopotamia influence Jewish and Phoenician culture

I’m not sure about Phoenician culture, but the Jews adopted a similar governmental system to the Mesopotamians.

Mesopotamian culture was the dominant culture in the Middle East for an expansive period of history. Mesopotamian influences included art-forms, economic systems, roads and public trading routes, clothes, and the concept of writing. Phoenicians and Hebrews borrowed these traits and modified them to fit their own indigenous beliefs.
