The Jews in Babylonia in the Time of Ezra and Nehemiah - According to Babylonian Inscriptions #222413

What the Assuan Papyri are for the history of the Jews in Egypt, the Murashurdocuments are for the history of the Jews in Babylonia. The Aramaic papyri discovered at Assuan have shed new and unexpected light on the life of the Jews in Syene in the south of Egypt in the fifth century B. C. E., and the cuneiform tablets unearthed in the ruins of Nuffar acquaint us partly with the life of the Jews in Nippur in the south of Babylonia in the same period.
