The chronological end of
-
the Old Testament, Hebrew Bible,
-
takes place in the sixth century BCE,
-
that is in the 500s BCE.
-
I say the chronological end of the text is that because
-
that's actually not the latest that our literature comes from.
-
It's just that's the end of the story.
-
What happens basically is that the Jews are taken out of Judea,
-
they're taken into captivity
-
or at least the upper class is, in Babylon,
-
and then they wait 70 years
