A: While Nebuchadnezzar had dominion over the entire land of the fertile crescent, there might have been a more immediate reason. In the Babylonian New year Festival, they probably recited the Babylonian Epic of Creation, and the king was the representative of the god Marduk, who created everything.
J: Ingawa Nebukadneza alitawala kanda wote wa mwezi mwandamo wenye rutuba [eneo linaloanzia pwani ya Mashariki ya Bahari ya Mediterania, kupita kwenye bonde la mito ya Hidekeli (Tigris) na Frati (Euphrates) na kwenda hadi Ghuba ya Uajemi], huenda palikuwa na sababu kubwa zaidi.
