📚 Historical Context
This refers to the Babylonian exile that occurred in 597 BC when King Nebuchadnezzar conquered Jerusalem and deported many Jewish people, including King Jeconiah (also called Jehoiachin), to Babylon. This was part of a series of deportations that ultimately led to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 586 BC. Many Jewish families, including Mordecai's ancestors, were forced to live in foreign lands for generations.
