The collection of essays in this book represents more than twenty
years of research on the history and archeology of Judah, as well
as the study of the Biblical literature written in and about the
period that might be called the “Age of Empires”. This
600-year-long period, when Judah was a vassal Assyrian, Egyptian
and Babylonian kingdom and then a province under the consecutive
rule of the Babylonian, Persian, Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires,
was the longest and the most influential in Judean history and
historiography. The administration that was shaped and developed
during this period, the rural economy, the settlement pattern and
the place of Jerusalem as a small temple, surrounded by a small
settlement of (mainly) priests, Levites and other temple servants,
characterize Judah during most of its history. This is the
formative period when most of the Hebrew Bible was written and
edited, when the main features of Judaism were shaped and when
Judean cult and theology were created and developed. The 36 papers
contained in this book present a broad picture of the Hebrew Bible
against the background of the Biblical history and the archeology
of Judah throughout the six centuries of the “Age of Empires”.
