text: In one sense, the Babylonian exile of the sixth century B.C.E. ended when King Cyrus of Persia issued an edict in 538 B.C.E. allowing the exiled Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild their city and their temple ( 2Chr 36:23 Ezra 6:3-5 ); this was viewed as an affirmation of Jeremiah’s prophecy that the exile would end after 70 years ( Jer 25:11-12 Jer 29:10-11 ) and was heralded by Isaiah’s call that all exiles should return to the homeland ( Isa 48:20 ).
