In this episode we journey through time through the eyes of the "Father of History", Herodotus in the mid 4th century BCE to see what he has to say about Jews and their practices in Judah. We then analyze all literature and archaeological discoveries that tell us about the origins of the Yahweh Cult and transition from the Ba'al Cult. Then we will end with the Babylonian Captivity in 597 BCE and the Cyrus Decree
