Hebrew was not a classical language. It had about 500 words and was a polygot jargon like Yiddish. Much of the Old Testament was plagiarized; much more was edited and re-edited. The New Testament was written in the full, classical language of Greek. The Psalms were taken from Akhenaton’s “Hymns to the Sun”. The Book of Job was possibly written by the Greeks.
Babylonian Empire:Babylonia was an ancient Akkadian speaking Semitic nation state and cultural region based in central-southern Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). It emerged as an independent state circa 1894 BC, the city of Babylon being its capital. It was often involved in rivalry with its fellow Akkadian state of Assyria in northern Mesopotamia. Babylonia became the major power in the region after Hammurabi (fl. ca. 1792- 1752 BC middle chronology, or ca. 1696 – 1654 BC, short chronology) created an empire out of many of the territories of the former Akkadian Empire.
