Description
Summary:The Babylonian period in the Levant must be reconstructed mainly from sparse information found in the Bible. This data is often theologically overpainted, making it difficult to grasp the historical core. The third deportation of Judah in 582 BCE mentioned in Jer 52:30 is difficult to link to a historical event. It has often been assumed that the assassination of Gedaliah was the reason for the deportation. A newly found stele of Pharaoh Apries offers an alternative explanation, as it provides a possible background for the third deportation and perhaps also for the imprisonment of Jehoiachin.
