Chapter 26 discusses occupations patterns of Jewish occupation during the Middle Ages. Between the years of 632 and 711 90% percent of Jewry lived in a single empire.

Iran, as well as the entire Middle East, was a land where many pagan gods and goddesses were being "born". During the time of Zoroaster, Mithra was one prominent religion practiced by the Iranians. Those who were followers of Mithra (as well as other religions) would sacrifice animals to pay homage to their gods. It wasn't uncommon for worshippers to consume narcotics and intoxicating beverages called Haoma (Zaehner 38). Zoroaster's revolt against such ritualistic practices in Mithra and other Iranian religions is noted when he cried out to Ahura Mazda for help. " 'When wilt thou strike down this filthy drunkness,' the prophet exclaims, 'with which the priests (karapans) evilly delude (the people) as do the wicked rulers of the providences in (full) consciousness (of what they do).' " (Zaehner 38) In response, Zoroaster had received a vision from Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, who appointed him to teach the truth. Initially, Zoroaster did not try to overthrow current religions. But instead he placed Ahura Mazda as the "Head God".

The Priest and the Great King by Lisbeth S. Fried faces the question as to how the Persians dealt with the Jews after the absorption of Judea from the conquest of Babylon. The texts from Hebrew sources suggested the Persian had a sense of reverence for the Jews which was unlike the others. Attempting to use sources other than the Tanach is difficult as there is not much in the way of Persian sources concerning the Jews and Judea but there is some.

The ancient world was a time of great civilisations and greater rulers, and today it is those of Greece and Rome that are remembered. But they were not alone in their military conquests and vast empires; there were many equal to, or perhaps even greater, than them, and it is important not to overlook the achievements of these peoples who have helped to shape history. The Persian Empire is one such of these civilisations, rising to prominence in the mid sixth century BCE and enduring for two hundred years, a small amount of time in which it conquered an impressive amount of territory. At its height, it controlled a huge swathe of land centred in modern-day Iran, stretching as far north as the Russian border, as far south as Egypt, and as far

Over thousands of years, the religion of Judaism has evolved. With years of suffering, persecution, and dispersion the Jews’ religion stays constant.

To speak of the Hebrew Scripture is to speak of story, a story stretching from the very beginning of time to only a few centuries before the beginning of the Common Era. It is to speak of richness of content, of purpose and of reality and to engross oneself in an overarching narrative that, depending on your personal convictions, continues to the present day. Within this richness is found a wide variety of different events and experience, told through a series of genre ranging from foundational myth to apocalypse, law giving to poetry, genealogy to wisdom and many more. Within this diversity however, three broad sections can be discerned that speak to a shared purpose and content, these are the sections of Law, Prophecy and Writings. It
