Rab-mag

A high-ranking Babylonian official present at the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BC.

The Rab-mag was a high-ranking official in the Babylonian court of Nebuchadnezzar II, mentioned in Jeremiah 39:3 and 39:13. The title likely refers to a chief of the magi or a high-ranking religious and political advisor. His presence at the capture of Jerusalem signifies the high-level Babylonian leadership involved in the city's destruction and the fulfillment of divine judgment.
