I know this thread is 6 years old now. I recently discovered it while researching. Sorry I am late. Has anyone considered that Mary, Joseph and child (Jesus)...
The standard chronology adds some 80 years to the time from the end of the captivity to the edict to return to the land of Israel. This would make Mordecai...
