In the Bible, the Chaldeans are often associated with astrology, wisdom, and the Babylonian empire. They are depicted as a powerful and influential group, particularly during the time of the Neo-Babylonian Empire.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Chaldeans were a Semitic-speaking people who settled in the southern part of Mesopotamia, known as Chaldea. They rose to prominence in the late 7th century BC, with the establishment of the Neo-Babylonian Empire under King Nabopolassar and his son Nebuchadnezzar II. The Chaldeans are known for their contributions to astronomy and astrology, and they played a significant role in the cultural and political life of the ancient Near East. The fall of Jerusalem and the Babylonian Exile are key events associated with the Chaldeans in biblical history.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word
