That was the Babylonian exile, which followed the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE.
The major event preceding the Babylonian captivity was the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Jewish holy temple in the city.
Yes. There was a large Jewish community in Alexandria, Egypt, during the Second Temple era.
Because of the Babylonian Captivity, Babylonia became the most important center of Jewish life during the Exile. The Jewish people survived in Babylon because the Babylonian policy allowed the Jews to settle in towns and villages along the Chebar River, which was an irrigation channel. The Jews were allowed to live together in communities; they were allowed to farm and perform other sorts of labor to earn income. Many Jews eventually became wealthy.
A:Historians regard the following dates as firm, given a margin of perhaps one year or so: Jerusalem surrendered in 597 BCE, and thousands were deported, but Babylonian control over Jerusalem was short-lived.Babylon again besieged Jerusalem and in 586 BCE a substantial part of the remaining population of Jerusalem was deported. This is considered to be the start of the Babylonian Exile.Some Jewish religious scholars place the Babylonian Captivity later than this, thereby resolving certain contradictions in the Bible.Archaeologists and other scholars support the historical view.
It depends on what aspect of Jewish history is being discussed. There is actually strong agreement between the Bible and the Babylonian accounts of the Judean-Babylonian Wars and the Babylonian Exile. The rest of the Biblical Account is neither confirmed nor denied by Babylonian writings.
The books of Ezra and Nehemiah were written during the period that the Jewish exiles returned to Jerusalem from captivity. The book of Ester was probably written during the period of captivity or shortly after.Answer:According to the Jewish count, Ezra and Nehemiah are one book. In addition to it, Chronicles was written during or immediately after the Babylonian captivity; and Esther was redacted at that time too (by the Men of the Great Assembly, after Mordecai and Esther had penned the original text; see Esther ch.9).
