The territorial extent and demography of Yehud/Judea in the Persian and early Hellenistic periods

Research output: Contribution to journal › Review article › peer-review

Abstract

The territorial extent of Persian-period Yehud and Hellenistic Judea and estimates of their population are major issues in current research¹, with far-reaching implications for dating the composition of several biblical works². Recent research on the Yehud seal impressions³ and my own work on two geographical lists in the Book of Nehemiah⁴ raise new questions and call for a fresh treatment of both issues.
