Is Hammurabi's code a decree?
King Hammurabi led Semitic speaking invaders from the Arabian Desert and entered into southern Mesopotamia around 1900 BC BCE. They conquered other city states in the Tigris Euphrates Valley and formed the Babylonian Empire. They adopted and built upon the preceding Sumerian culture.Guided by Hammurabi the people recorded their laws and customs. It would be difficult to classify their functions of this as a "decree". It is important to note that this became the oldest legal system of its time.What the code reveals is:A. a stern system of justice; demanding severe punishments for crimes;B. it established a sharp division of people classes, it showed that crimes against the higher classes deserved harsher penalties then crimes against the common people;C. it demanded fair treatment of women; as example, women were permitted to own property and conduct business as did men;Based on this the Babylonians marked off their place in ancient history. The Babylonians made progress in areas of astronomy & literature.Their empire is said to have lasted until about 1700 BC BCE.

That the strong might not injure the weak, in order to protect the widows and orphans, I have in Babylon the city where Anu and Bel raise high their head, in E-Sagil, the Temple, whose foundations stand firm as heaven and earth, in order to declare justice in the land, to settle all disputes, and heal all injuries, set up these my precious words, written upon my memorial stone, before the image of me, as king of righteousness.

What are Hammurabi's fair laws?
Being put to death for false accusations, having your tongue cut out for insulting someone, having your hands cut off for giving the wrong kind of haircut and being thrown into a fire for looking upon someone else's property, they are all punishments found in the Code of Hammurabi. Compared to other kings, most historians agree that Hammurabi was a just King. Having harsh laws don't make the king a bad person.

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.
