It deals with the evidence for the lifestyle of the Aramaeans in Babylonia. Considering the massive Aramaean presence in the Old Testament, the final question is what stood behind the strong interest in the Aramaeans. Three possibilities are conceivable: Aramaeans from Syria settled in Palestine and participated in shaping its culture; Inhabitants of Israel/Judah were in Aramaean settled areas for a visit and were so deeply impressed by the Aramaean culture that Aramaean traditions and elements were purposely included in the Old Testament and imported into the local material culture; During the Assyrian and Babylonian deportations inhabitants of Palestine were exiled into Aramaean settled areas in Syria and in Babylonia. Keywords: Aramaeans; Assyrian deportation; Babylonia; Israel inhabitants; Old Testament; Palestine; Syria

It also constitutes an important case study illustrating the manner in which multiethnic settlements in Egypt developed, as one ethnic group assimilated another’s practices and values. Review
