| Summary: | The publication of the Al-Yahūdu Documents (2014) has been rightly celebrated worldwide by scholars of various fields of interest. The present paper focuses on four issues, as seen from the viewpoint of a Hebrew Bible scholar: The first concerns the Neo-Babylonian evidence; the second touches on the question of core and periphery; and the third looks at challenges presented by these materials to ideas about the acculturation of the exiles. Finally, the study raises the broader issue of the untold stories we hear by "listening" to this epigraphic data together with or over against the Hebrew Bible compositions by the Babylonian exiles. |
