Babylonian Exile of Judah / Israel & King Cyrus Edict - Bible History & Archaeology (Megalim)

The film accompanies Israel's southern kingdom of Judah in their exile from Jerusalem to Babylon after the destruction of the First Temple. There they experience the shock of displacement before gradually integrating in Babylon. Then, after decades in the far-off kingdom, they hear the rare, surprising pronouncement allowing them to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the Temple ... the proclamation or edict of King Cyrus.
