Chapter 3 Babylon
1. Babylon was the land of southern Mesopotamia. Politically, Babylonia refers to the ancient kingdoms that flourished in southern Mesopotamia, especially in the seventh and sixth centuries BC, whose capital city was Babylon (or Bab-ilu, meaning “gate of god”). The term can also be used geographically to designate an entire region (in present-day southeast Iraq). The adjective Babylonian has an even looser meaning; it may refer to the land or its inhabitants, to the kingdom or its subjects, or to a dialect of one of the principal ancient Mesopotamian languages. See W. A. Elwell and P. W. Comfort, eds., “Babylon, Babylonia,” in Tyndale Bible Dictionary (Wheaton: Tyndale, 2001), 137.
