Jews are Babylonians, Medes, Persians (the people lived in Parsa, the modern province of Fars, not the whole Persian empire.); they are Arameans (Genesis 10:22-23). That is why the so-called Hebrew Bible was written in Aramaic languages in origin, later was translated to Greek (the Septuagint Bible) by 70 Jewish translators at the legendary Library of Alexandria, in the 3nd century BC. According to the Scripture, Cyrus was the grandson of King Ahasuerus and Queen Esther. Astyages was in Scripture called Ahasuerus. Esther, the Jewish wife of the Persian king Astyages. Cyrus was the son of Cambyses, the Persian, and of Mandane, the daughter of Astyages, king of the Medes. Astyages, or Ahasuerus, had a son by the name of Cyaxares [Darius], who was born about a year before Cyrus, and who was heir to the throne of Media. According to the Book of Jubilees (9:5-6), the portion of the earth to be inherited by the descendants of Aram included all of the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers to the north of the Chaldees to the border of the mountains of Asshur and the land of Arara. "The mountains of Asshur in the north, and all the land of Elam, Asshur, and Babel, and Susan and Ma'edai" (Persia, Assyria, Babylonia, and Media, i.e. the Medes the sons of Madai.) were apportioned to sons of Shem (Jubilees 8:21), and the Aramaeans have historically been predominant in the north, specifically central Syria, where Aramaic was the common language.
