| | Hebrew History: The Exile, 597-538 BC |
 | | The exile was unexplainable; Hebrew history was built on the promise of Yahweh to protect the Hebrews and use them for his purposes in human history. | | | It is most likely that the Torah took its final shape during this period or shortly afterward, and that it became the central text of the Jewish faith at this time as well. | | | They called themselves the "gola," ("exiles"), or the "bene gola" ("the children of the exiles"), and within the crucible of despair and hopelessness, they forged a new national identity and a new religion. |

| | Babylonian Exile and Beyond |
| | Before the exile, Judah was a monarchy that had taken on the traditions of "Israel," the tribal community once united under King David. | | | In other words, "Judaism" was not a monolithic practice and the Babylonian diaspora was not the only form in which Judah- and Israel-related traditions were continued after the destruction of the states of Israel and Judah. | | | century Martin Luther speaks of a "Babylonian captivity of the Church" he does not refer to an actual exile but of a period of spiritual enslavement of the Church to the pontiff in Rome, a period now coming to its end in Luther’s own reform. |

God allowed them to be conquered because they turned their back on Him, and ignored all of the warnings that He sent to them through His prophets, including Elijah and Elisha. | | | This time it was the Babylonians under King Nebuchadnezzar. | | | As with Israel, Judah became deeply involved in paganism, idolatry (see Baal), and Witchcraft - all blatant violations of The Ten Commandments. |
