The Jewish diaspora, the Babylonian captivity was itself a form of ethnic cleansing, as was King Mithridates of Pontus's murder of 80,000 Romans in 88 BC.

犹太人的离散，巴比伦人被俘从某种形式也算是种族清洗，公元前88年本都国王杀害8万罗马人，也算是种族清洗。

This " Babylonian captivity" lasted until 539 B.C. when the people were permitted to return to Jerusalem, and the great temple was restored.

这种“巴比伦囚禁” 一直持续到公元前 539 年。 当人们被允许返回耶路撒冷时， 伟大的圣殿被修复了。
