In Bavel the captives were distributed through districts and settlements.
Some were assigned labor, others service, and others were permitted to build households under foreign rule.
They wept when they remembered Tziyon.
Their songs became difficult in a strange land.
Yet the Torah remained among them.
Elders taught children the words of Mosheh so that captivity would not erase the memory of the Covenant.
