Judaism/Israelite Religion did not diffuse outside of the southern Levant until the Babylonian Exile period when the elite from Judea were deported to Babylon. It became a rather large community there before returning to the southern Levant under the permission of King Cyrus of Persia. During the Persian and Hellenic Greek Periods, Judaism remained a Middle Eastern religion. When the Romans exiled the Jews from Judea after the Zealot Revolts and the Bar Kochba Revolts, Jews were scattered to all of the corners of the Roman Empire.

In the post-Roman Empire period, Jews migrated from country to country whenever they were exiled or offered much better opportunities elsewhere. In this way, Jews diffused into many different European and Arab societies, as well as becoming a small part of India and China and later the New World.
