1 | Exiled Judeans and Israelites | Ezra 1:1 | carta10 | 234804 | ||
Did you know that the exiled Judeans and Israelites led different lives? Whilst the Judeans maintained their national identity in Babylonia and eventually returned to their homeland and Jerusalem under the Persian king Cyrus the Great, the ten Israelite tribes, in contrast, assimilated over time and merged into the local population. Any archaeological discovery that confirms The Word is a joy for the devout believer who has no doubts in the first place to the measured skeptic who may have been brought that much closer to belief. CARTA-JERUSALEM is about to publish “Bound for Exile: Israelites and Judeans under Imperial Yoke,” the first annotated collection of documents from Assyria and Babylonia from cuneiform sources, that deal with the fate and daily life of the Israelite and Judean exiles. Mordechai Cogan, whose "The Raging Torrent, Historical Inscriptions from Assyria and Babylonia Relating to Ancient Israel," was published by Carta Jerusalem, now fleshes out the imperial documents of that collection in his new, soon to be published, companion volume "Bound for Exile," with all available documents that relate to day to day activities and administrative matters. Another "first" from Carta-Jerusalem, it is a most valuable companion piece of the earlier volume. |

2 | Exiled Judeans and Israelites | Ezra 1:1 | EdB | 234808 | ||
That difference between Israel and Judeans is the differences in how conqueoring armies handle occupied territory. Assyians always relocated people, spread them out through out their kingdom. Replaced them with people from other conqueored areas. This almost completely removed an resistance type movement. It is also where the people that later became known as Samarians came into being. Babylonian Empired tried to preserve the essence of the society they conqueored. This often required them to move a "select group" of people enmass. In Judeas case this included brillant young men (Daniel and the three hebrew children, some of priests, the Prophets of the time and also a representation of the crafts people, and leadership. The Grecian empire tried to assimulate their culture into the occupied territory. That is why even today in a remote part of India people speak Greek. They build libraries, taught language art and other aspects of Greece into their culture. Roman ruled with an iron fist much like Nazi Germany during WW2. The crushed rebellion, they tried to crush everthing they did not approve of. God used each of thes traits to the advanage of His people and to spread the knowledge and worship of God to around known world. |
