Evidence for Judean Exiles in Babylonia, 572–474 BCE

12:00pm

The Murašû texts, excavated in the nineteenth century by the Penn Museum, record the activities of an entrepreneurial family in fifth century BCE Nippur. The texts, along with records from a town called Yāhūdu, document Judeans living in the Babylonian countryside and working in the land-for-service sector of the Achaemenid empire. This talk will contextualize their experiences and consider the contribution of these sources to understanding the social location of Judeans in Babylonia, from the time of the exile to the years beyond the return.
