Who are Moses and Hammurabi?

Answer 1

"moses hated Hammurabi because the sorcerers beleved he was on the dark side. Hammurabi liked moses ant first but then he hated him because of the consequences JK"

Oh no.

This is anacronistic. Imagine, the Babylonian king Ha.mur.Apil (= Hamurabi) was living in the time of Abraham - and Moses some centuries later is the son of the Levi tribe, Levi is son of Jacob son of Isaac son of Abraham. Historical research assumed the king "Amraphel" of The Bible story was Hamurabi - one of those 3 kings who went with the king of Elam, and in that time Elam was the kingdom where Sodom, Gomorrha and the cities near the Salt Sea were colonies from, founded to work with finding and sending asphalt the cities needed to make wells - maybe even for cooking or industrial heating. some years they did this works, then they finished to send their duty production.

In this time Lot, the nephew of Abraham, was an inhabitant in the city of Sodom, too, but not related to those folks. When the 4 kings' military-expedition came to bring their colonists back from there, because they didn't do their job, they caught - by error - the family and sheeps of Lot, and deprtated them too, without making any difference between foreigners, guests, and inhabitants, guilty or not guilty. Abraham heard this and fought the expedition of the 4 great kings in sake to free his own nephew, and he won this battle and the lands, but decided to take no fee from this acting. He finished the war and made his peace, and ok.

The name of Hamurabi is famous today in zhe sciences of law and in the science of ancient languages. as he was in his time, because he gave a very good ancient law, the "Codex Hamurabi" for his kingdom near the river of Euphrat, connecting about 40 communities together, all of them ruling by the same law they wished to have themselves.

The articles begin each with "shoomeshoo aveelum..." (= Take the case, a man ...") (in Babylonian language the name of Abel is "man") - this law was written in cuneiform ceremonial-signs, engraved in a great black stone and this was to visit in the temple of Mar.duk.u, the city power (g*d) of Babel city. Each visitor and each inhabitant could go there and look and read it by himself, if he could read this, he knew the rules and - if guilty to have broken some of the rules he should know the consequences for this acting. The inhabitants of Babel had to learn reading and writing this text of their law. The first step was to read it aloud and to learn the words by heart, able to repeat the total law, then the disciples learnt to write these textes, then the first part of school was ok - the teacher got a little Thanksgiving party and got a good meal, a ring and a cloth as gift from the parents of the disciple.

- Those youngsters who had finished their examination, could learn to write more textes, so we have in cuneiform-written relicts some stories who tell about their school life en detail. This form of law was surely not perfect, but was so good, that about 2'000 years later even the Roman's XII-Table Law (late time of the republic of Rome in the century before imperator Augustus who finished this by his new laws) was made similarly. They got it from the Greek's best written Codex, the Greeks got it from the Aramaic or Assyrian nations, etc.

The connection between Hamurabi and Moses is so:

when Moses began to lead the people of Israel from Egypt's lands through the deserts, his folks came with any trouble to him, all the time he alone should decide who was right and who not, or he should ask G'D about this and that - and this went on all the days. It was too much for 1 single old man. - His father-in-law, from the Kenite-priests the wife of Moses, Zipporah, came from, who lived withe the people of Israel in that deset-time to teach them in this situations, saw this and taught Moses to learn a form of Codex to decide a lot of daily troubles by a common Codex of about 70 articles, simply to look at: is this a case, do this (p.e. "If a person steals 1 sheep, he has to give 1 back, adding 4 sheeps more"). So he should devide his people in 1'000, in 100, in 10 fathers, and each group got 1 exemplar of this "Codex for all" (Mishpatim) to decide the simple questions in daily sorrows with the others. And Moses did so. Life became more easy for all of them, to have some rules.

You find this part of law in the Holy Bible, Book of Exodus, chpt.20-chpt.41

- assume, G'D gave His approbation to this. HE gives to the men the intelligence to think about society around himself, and a feeling for righteousness in each heart. Even people who never knew of HIM have the inner enlightenment from HIM to search a way to live with the others in a peaceful way within own self-given rules for "all" of their community, and even with similar structured communities they have contact to.

The Bible Law has some differences in these 70 articles, because in our religion all the people are equally born individuals - in Hamurabi's law there is a difference, if a person offends, hurts, kills or robbs a priest, a free man or an "nobody" - another difference is, that the family in Babylonian view is 1 together: if the architect builds a house and the house broke and killed the wife of that customer, the law ordered to kill the (innocent) wife of that architect, if a child, then one of his (innocent) child's of the architect. In the Bible Law each has to bear his own punishment for only his own guilt, not the analog-family. If somebody in Babel stole something from the temple's or king's compounds the punishment was more heavy - in the Bible Law there ist no other punishment if it was the king's own compound, and if it was stolen from the sanctuary in Jerusalem or the Holy Tent, there was no punishment at all (G'D owns all the world, we cannot make HIM poor). The Bible gives 5 groups of Laws, this ist only 1 group, called "Mischpatim". Other Laws are for only the Sanctuary's priests and the service's calendary, ritus and offerings, others for marriage, family-rules, others specifically national-heraldic, others for moral use. Maybe others didn't write such laws.

When Josua had settled the people of Israel in the Holy Land, the came together near the city of Sikhem between 2 mountains, the Codex was written engraved on a white stone and set up upon one of the mountains and was made holy to our G'D, the people of Israel promised now the contract between G'D and them for themselves standing there and all their descendants since then. Since then, if somebody had a doubt, he could visit the place on the mountain of Garizim and see himself the written articles for each - inhabitants or guests, Israelites or others - and ensure what is the common Codex in this land and nation inside its boundaries.

The Bibölical rulers called "The Judges" (Shophtim) had to perform these articles of law for all. Others are called Lawyers (Dajanim) and have to be at least 3 individuals, unto 70 of a Sanhedrin, they research all the Jewish written laws and have to find a decision (Din) in special cases. This is a difference: maybe, each former Nation had this, too - but maybe they didn't write it.

The Romans made it similar with their XII-Table-Law, they made a great exemplar in bronce and set it up on the Forum Romanum place between the "rostra" where the central Speaker's corner was.

Maybe the king Nimrud-story is sometimes mixed with Hamurabi, but it was a story with Abraham, telling a reason why he left the city of Ur - and Nimrud is told to have been the governor of Ur in the time of young Abram. This "king" is only mentioned in the descendant's list of Noah in the Bible. The Jewish Talmud tradition tells a story of a conflict between the belief of young Abram and the wooden-g*d-making industries in the kingdom of Nimrud, his father's job, too - and that Abram laughed about such a nonsense, to pray or bid something from "a piece of wood".

Some centuries later, this story is told also in the Holy Qur'an for the Muslim, about Abraham and a king Nimrud.

No telling such stories of Moses exists!

The Bible doesn't tell any "story" or criticism about Nimrud, and even doesn't call him a king, only that he was a great hunter and came out of an origin in a city-state near the Sumerian city-kingdoms to become an important hunter "in the eyes of G'D".
