Babylonian Period (jan 1, 612 BC – jan 1, 539 BC)
Description:
After the fall of the Assyrian capital in 612 bce, the Babylonian Empire took control of the ancient Near East. In 597 bce, the Babylonians
captured Jerusalem and deported many of Judah’s citizens. After a failed rebellion in 587 bce, there were more deportations and the
Temple was destroyed. It is during this period that the transition from Israelite religion (sometimes called Yahwism) to Judaism occurred.
