| | Babylonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Babylonia, named for its capital city, Babylon, was an ancient state in the south part of Mesopotamia (in modern Iraq), combining the territories of Sumer and Akkad. | | | The invasion of Babylonia by Cyrus was doubtless facilitated by the existence of a disaffected party in the state, as well as by the presence of foreign exiles like the Jews, who had been planted in the midst of the country. | | | Nabonidus, in fact, had excited a strong feeling against himself by attempting to centralize the religion of Babylonia in the temple of Merodach (Marduk) at Babylon, and while he had thus alienated the local priesthoods, the military party despised him on account of his antiquarian tastes. |

| | Babylonia, however, still continued to be regardedwith reverence by the Jews in all parts. | | | Babylonia thenceforth disappears from the history of Judaism. | | | In view of the undoubted fact that the Jewish inhabitants of Babylonia were of purer racial extraction than the Jews of Palestine, the former considered themselves, especially after the fall of Jerusalem, as the genuine Israel, and their differing traditions and customs as of higher authority than those of thehome country. |

| | During the reign of Sennacherib of Assyria, Babylonia was in a constant state of revolt, led by Mushezib-Marduk, and suppressed only by the complete destruction of the city of Babylon. | | | He later issued a decree permitting the exiled Jews to return to their own land, and allowed their temple to be rebuilt. | | | Once again, Babylon was besieged by the Assyrians and starved into surrender. |

| | Nevertheless, the Kassites were a political force to be reckoned with for Kassite kings were in correspondence with Egyptian Pharaohs (ca1375-ca1333), possibly at a time when rival Kassite lords had settled their differences. | | | Shamsi then turned against Babylonia where he was resisted by the Chaldeans and Babylon remained independent. | | | The Kassite language is barely known from some words that appear in the inscriptions and Kassite rule in Babylon is generally obscure, although it lasted on and off for four centuries, during which time Aramaeans, from Syria, gradually infiltrated Mesopotamia, where they were known as Kaldu or Chaldeans. |

| | The Jews of Babylonia, no doubt, shared in the changes and movements that Ezra and his successors, who came from Babylonia, introduced into Palestine. | | | These misfortunes were undoubtedly the immediate cause of the publication of the Talmud as a complete work; and from the Academy of Sura was issued that unique literary effort which was destined to occupy such an extraordinary position in Judaism. | | | At the same time there was at Nisibis, in northern Mesopotamia, an excellent Jewish college, at the head of which stood Judah ben Betera (Bathyra), and in which many Palestinian scholars found refuge at the time of the persecutions. |

| | Babylon was the capital city of Babylonia in Mesopotamia (in contemporary Iraq). | | | Sennacherib alone seems to have failed in securing the support of the Babylonian priesthood; at all events he never underwent the ceremony, and Babylonia throughout his reign was in a constant state of revolt which was finally suppressed only by the complete destruction of the capital. | | | Like the other great sanctuaries of Babylonia the temple had been founded in pre-Semitic times, and the future Babylon grew up around it. |

| | That orthodox Jews at that period may have found, in consequence of this monotheistic tendency, converts, is not by any means improbable--indeed, the names met with during the later period imply that converts to Judaism were made. | | | Nothing has come down to us as yet concerning this legend except the incident of his dwelling in Hades, whither Itar, the Babylonian Venus, went in search of him. | | | Besides Babylonia and Assyria, he was also worshipped in other parts of the Semitic east, especially at Harran, to which city Abraham migrated, scholars say, in consequence of the patron-deity being the same as at Ur of the Chaldees, where he had passed the earlier years of his life. |
