This project highlights an alternative method for reading the biblical presentation of Jerusalem temple leadership in the cultural and historical context of Achaemenid Judah, and provides further nuance to Hebrew Bible studies by stressing close attention to the Persian imperial context that spurred its development. The biblical presentation of the Jerusalem temple leadership resembles comparable developments with cults throughout the western Empire. In these institutions, sponsored elites used local cults to establish social control over their community while also participating in generaing consent to imperial Achaemenid authority. Persian conquest of Judah occurred, as it did elsewhere, with the arrival of imperrial garrisons. Persian control, however, was cultivated through the creation of imperial hegemony in institutions such as native cults that were already thick symbols of authority.
