Description
Summary:The territorial extent of Persian-period Yehud and Hellenistic Judea and estimates of their population are major issues in current research, with far-reaching implications for dating the composition of several biblical works. Recent research on the Yehud seal impressions and my own work on two geographical lists in the Book of Nehemiah raise new questions and call for a fresh treatment of both issues.\n4207 L’extension territoriale, à la période perse de Yehud et de la Judée hellénistique, de même que l’estimation de leurs populations, sont des questions brûlantes dans la recherche actuelle. Cela a des fortes implications pour la datation de la composition de certains livres bibliques. De récentes recherches sur les sceaux de Yehud et mes propres travaux sur deux listes géographiques du Livre de Néhémie soulèvent de nouvelles questions et appellent à une reprise de la problématique.\n4207 \n4207
