Abstract
A brief history of Jerusalem from 586 to 332 BC, when Jerusalem and Judah were part of the Neo-Babylonian and Persian empires. It was a crucial period for the origin of the Hebrew Bible and the Jewish faith. Due to the captivity of many inhabitants to Babylonia and the return of part of them under Persian rule, the influence from Babylonia is considerable. Because Babylonia and Judah were both subdued lands under the Persians, who had lost their royal dynasties, telling parallels between both regions can be observed. The role of the returnees and of the Persian government in the introduction of the Hebrew laws and institutions is discussed.
