Yuval Levavi. “A peculiar taxation practice of Judean exiles in rural Babylonia and its possible connection to building activity in late sixth century Judah” in A. Berlejung, A. M. Maeir (eds.). Research on Israel and Aram: Autonomy, Interdependence and Related Issues. Proceedings of the First Annual RIAB Center Conference, Leipzig, June 2016. (RIAB, Vol. 1), Tübingen: Mohr Siebeck, 2019, p. 395-407

Texte intégral

1On the basis of a new reading of a hitherto misconstrued passage found in some legal records belonging to the so-called Āl-Yahūdu texts, this contribution argues that construction works undertaken in the province of Judah in the reign of Darius were partly financed by levies imposed on Judean deportees in rural central Babylonia (near Nippur). Specifically, the deportees mentioned in the pertinent texts belonged to the class of šušānus, semi-dependent worker on government holdings, who were under the authority of governor Uštana and whose imposts were assigned to the the province of Across-the-River (Syria and the Levant). The author is thereby able to elucidate a passage in the book of Ezra (1:4) hinting at such an arrangement.
