What was the religion for Hammurabi?
Jewish/Hebrew
What is true regarding Hebrew law?
It was written down shortly after the code of Hammurabi.
Are the Ten Commandments Hammurabi code or Hebrew law?
They have nothing to do with Hammurabi, whose laws expose themselves as being both cruel and laden with idolatrous beliefs.
What year was the eye for an eye a law?
Even before Hebrew law, the oldest known reference to "an eye for an eye" is in Hammurabi's Code of Laws, circa 1760 B.C. (Hammurabi ruled from the years 1792 - 1750 B.C. in Mesopotamia.)
Did Hammurabi have a queen?
Only scanty information exists about his immediate family: his father, Sin-muballit; his sister, Iltani; and his firstborn son and successor, Samsuiluna, are known by name. But he did have a queen. The name was not written probably because she could be from a Hebrew or a Mede descent and not an Amorite like Hammurabi.
Is Hebrew law based off of the code of Hammurabi?
Answer 1No, according to our tradition it is not. Hebrew law was given by God, as stated in the Torah many times.It is important to remember that Hebrew law is not only that which is in the Torah. It was accompanied by the Oral Law, which was put in writing 1500 years ago and may be found in the Talmud.Interestingly, it has been pointed out through extensive research that the parallels which do exist between the Torah and Hammurabi are because the Code of Hammurabi was itself based upon the Seven Noahide Laws, a tradition to which the Torah hints in passing. This research may be seen in the book Universal Jewish History, by Philip Biberfeld, volume 1, pages 129-156.Answer 2While there are certainly similarities in the Hebrew Legal Code and the Code of Hammurabi, such as the famous "eye for an eye" law of retribution, most of the laws covered in either scripture are quite divergent from the other, especially where religious requirements are discussed. If the Hebrew Bible was composed in Babylon at around 550 BCE like Western Scholarship claims, the Code of Hammurabi may have had some influence, but was largely irrelevant as it defined a completely different (and by that time defunct) legal system.
