Judah after Jewish exile in Babylon
Israel after the Exile in what is now Iraq
Scenes in Malachi, after the Jewish exile from their homeland, probably took place in the Persian province of Yehud, which is translated Judah or Judea.
It was roughly a 40-mile-wide square plug of ground (60 km), in territory that became known as Palestine.
The Jewish province included Jerusalem and beyond, into what are now central parts of Israel and Occupied Palestinian Territories. Jerusalem is where Jews sacrificed animals to God. And this was a topic Malachi covered with emotion and blunt words.
