Records of transactions that survive from about 500 BC

jews were bankers in Babylon as far back as 1400 BC. Yes the Egibi family was jewish.
Do not underestimate our foe.

In the tablets, there are names of Babylonian jews such as "Marduk-so-and-so" and "Bel-so-and-so".

They never had a concern for their god, only for making money and thus controlling their host nation.
It shouldn't go without notice that the degradation of Babylonian society came with a foreign king's invasion, as noted at the end of the first picture.

As with so many other things, a parallel that should be obvious in the current year.
