Abstract

This article is focused in the genesis of Jewish people that, passing through primary successive historical situations, establish themselves as nation/state. Their destruction and exiles will be analyzed in this article, focusing the Babylonian. The biblical report related to the creation of the world, the Shabat, the deluge and its unfoldings and the named Tower of Babel and its multiplicity of languages, however, have been omitted, to directly deal with the symbol of the divine promise to Abraham. So, this text begins from the statement that the Jewish history, as registered in the Bible, has its beginning marked by an irreversible collapse act that was determinant to the construction of its identity profile.
