The present research proposes new insights into the deportations from Judah effected by the Babylonian empire in the sixth century B.C.E. To this end, we present an exegetical analysis of Jer 29:1-15 in light of the Akkadian cuneiform tablets of Āl-Yāḫūdu. In this paper, we aim to observe the material life of the deported Judahites and suggest where possible reverberations of the letter to the deportees in Babylon (Jer 29:1-15) are located. The exegesis of the biblical text is part of the block of Jer 27-29, which seeks to ease the existing conflict due to the anti-Babylonian movement in Judah and also in Babylon. In this way, the letter sent to the deportees seeks to legitimize the permanence and peace of the Judahites in their new residence. Therefore, the emphasis of our exegetical analysis is on the intensive use of verbs in the imperative, which indicates that the author of the letter intends to reach his listeners. In addition to arousing them, the text carries directives that had to be urgently fulfilled and, because of this, we proposed to analyze the response of the Judahites by what is contained in the material culture, that is: our analysis takes place from the tablets of Āl-Yāḫūdu. Therefore, we selected for this research four documents, which are part of a larger corpus consisting of approximately 250 tablets. The texts of Āl-Yāḫūdu are sources written by Babylonian scribes in Akkadian cuneiform, which documented the activities of the Judaites, especially their business transactions in the countryside. The tablets cover 95 years of the material life of the Judaites settled in villages. In this way it became possible to study four generations of individuals who resided on the banks of the rivers of Babylon. 15 years after the deportation of 597AEC, we have the first record of Judaites in this empire. On the other hand, the last tablet dates from 477 B.C.E. (9th year of Xerxes' reign). Finally, under the analyses of distinct sources (biblical exegesis and material culture), we tried to reach propositional conclusions for the study of the Babylonian deportation. In addition to presenting new information, the intertextuality between biblical exegesis and the tablets of Āl-Yāḫūdu also proposes new and possible perspectives for the study of this important event in the Hebrew Bible.(AU)
