Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from בָּבֶל (Babel), referring to Babylon.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G897: Βαβυλών (Babylon) • Refers to the city of Babylon. Usage: The term בּבְלִי is used to denote individuals from Babylon, often in the context of the Babylonian Empire's interactions with Israel and Judah. Context: The term בּבְלִי (Bavli) is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to identify individuals originating from Babylon, a significant city and empire in ancient Mesopotamia. Babylon, known for its grandeur and as a center of culture and power, played a pivotal role in the history of Israel and Judah, particularly during the period of the Babylonian exile. The Babylonians, under King Nebuchadnezzar II, conquered Jerusalem, leading to the destruction of the First Temple and the subsequent exile of the Jewish people. This event is a critical moment in biblical history, marking a period of reflection and transformation for the Israelites. The term בּבְלִי is thus associated with both the oppressors of Israel and the broader cultural and political influence of Babylon. In the Berean Standard Bible, references to Babylonians often highlight their role in God's plan, serving as instruments of judgment and catalysts for the eventual return and restoration of the Jewish people.
