Βαβυλών

Βαβυλών
Βαβυλών, ῶνος, ἡ (Alcaeus Lyr. [VII/VI B.C.] 82, 10 D. [48, 10 L-P.]; Aeschyl., Pers. 52 et al.; LXX, ParJer, Philo, Joseph., SibOr; TestSol 26:6 B; Just.—בָּבֶל Gen 11:9; Babyl. Bâb-îlu or Bâbili, which the Babylonians interpreted by folk etymology to mean ‘gate of the gods’) Babylon, capital of Babylonia (Diod S 19, 100, 7 Βαβυλῶνα τὴν πόλιν); used also for the country (Bar 1:1, 4, 9, 11 al.; 1 Esdr 1:53; 2:11; 4:44 al.), so μετοικεσία Βαβυλῶνος deportation to Babylonia (B-D-F §166) Mt 1:11f, 17; cp. Ac 7:43 (cp. Ps.-Callisth. 3, 33, 15 ἐπάνω τῆς Βαβυλωνίας).—Among Israelites Rome began to take on the name and many of the characteristics of Babylon as a world-power hostile to God, denounced by the prophets (SyrBar 67, 7; SibOr 5, 143; 159; Billerb. III 816). So also 1 Pt 5:13 (s. the v.l. Ῥώμῃ and also CHunzinger, HHertzberg Festschr., ’65, 67–77 [Bab., Ro and 1 Pt].—Others, incl. GManley, EvQ 16, ’44, 138–46 and RAltheim-Stiehl, Christentum am Roten Meer II, ’73, 298, argue with less probability for the Bab. in Egypt [Diod S 1, 56, 3; Strabo 17, 1, 30; Jos., Ant. 2, 315]. The Bab. in Mesopotamia is also suggested by some, but at the time of Diod S [2, 9, 9], i.e. I B.C., it was almost entirely uninhabited). The association w. Rome is preferred by most for Rv (otherwise GAvan den Bergh van Eysinga, NThT 16, 1927, 33ff; JOman, Book of Rv 1923, 29 al.; JSickenberger, BZ 17, 1926, 270–82; Lohmeyer), where B. is always called the Great (cp. Da 4:30; Jos., Ant. 8, 153; Alcaeus, loc. cit., spoke of Βαβύλωνος ἵρας=holy Babylon) Rv 16:19; 17:5; 18:10, 21; ἔπεσεν, ἔπεσεν Β. 14:8; 18:2 (cp. Is 21:9; Jer 28:8).—RAC I 1118–34. M-M. TW.
