<p>&ldquo;The discovery and decipherment of this Code is the greatest
event in Biblical Arch&aelig;ology for many a day.&nbsp; A translation
of the Code, done by Mr. Johns of Queens&rsquo; College, Cambridge,
the highest living authority on this department of study, has just been
published by Messrs. T. &amp; T. Clark in a cheap and attractive booklet.&nbsp;
Winckler says it is the most important Babylonian record which has thus
far been brought to light.&rdquo;&mdash;<i>The Expository Times</i>.</p>
<h2><!-- page v--><span class="pagenum">p. v</span>INTRODUCTION</h2>
<p>The Code of Hammurabi is one of the most important monuments in the
history of the human race.&nbsp; Containing as it does the laws which
were enacted by a king of Babylonia in the third millennium <span class="smcap">B.C.</span>,
whose rule extended over the whole of Mesopotamia from the mouths of
the rivers Tigris and Euphrates to the Mediterranean coast, we must
regard it with interest.&nbsp; But when we reflect that the ancient
Hebrew tradition ascribed the migration of Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees
to this very period, and clearly means to represent their tribe father
as triumphing over this very same Hammurabi (Amraphel, Gen. xiv. 1),
we can hardly doubt that these very laws were part of that tradition.&nbsp;
At any rate, they must have served to <!-- page vi--><span class="pagenum">p. vi</span>mould
and fix the ideas of right throughout that great empire, and so form
the state of society in Canaan when, five hundred years later, the Hebrews
began to dominate that region.</p>
<p>Such was the effect produced on the minds of succeeding generations
by this superb codification of the judicial decisions of past ages,
which had come to be regarded as &lsquo;the right,&rsquo; that two thousand
years and more later it was made a text-book for study in the schools
of Babylonia, being divided for that purpose into some twelve chapters,
and entitled, after the Semitic custom, <i>N&icirc;nu ilu sirum</i>,
from its opening words.&nbsp; In Assyria also, in the seventh century
<span class="smcap">b.c.</span>, it was studied in a different edition,
apparently under the name of &lsquo;The Judgments of Righteousness which
Hammurabi, the great king, set up.&rsquo;&nbsp; These facts point to
it as certain to affect Jewish views before and after the Exile, in
a way that we may expect to find as fundamental as the Babylonian influence
in cosmology or religion.</p>
<p>For many years fragments have been <!-- page vii--><span class="pagenum">p. vii</span>known,
have been studied, and from internal evidence ascribed to the period
of the first dynasty of Babylon, even called by the name Code Hammurabi.&nbsp;
It is just cause for pride that Assyriology, so young a science as only
this year to have celebrated the centenary of its birth, is able to
emulate astronomy and predict the discovery of such bright stars as
this.&nbsp; But while we certainly should have directed our telescopes
to Babylonia for the rising of this light from the East, it was really
in Elam, at Susa, the old Persepolis, that the find was made.&nbsp;
The Elamites were the great rivals of Babylonia for centuries, and it
seems likely that some Elamite conqueror carried off the stone from
a temple at Sippara, in Babylonia.</p>
<p>However that may be, we owe it to the French Government, who have
been carrying on explorations at Susa for years under the superintendence
of M. J. de Morgan, that a monument, only disinterred in January, has
been copied, transcribed, translated, and published, in a superb quarto
volume, by October.&nbsp; The ancient text is reproduced by <!-- page viii--><span class="pagenum">p. viii</span>photogravure
in a way that enables a student to verify word by word what the able
editor, Father V. Scheil, <i>Professeur &agrave; l&rsquo;&Eacute;cole
des Hautes-&Eacute;tudes</i>, has given as his reading of the archaic
signs.&nbsp; The volume, which appears as <i>Tome IV., Textes &Eacute;lamites-S&eacute;mitiques</i>,
of the <i>M&eacute;moires de la D&eacute;l&eacute;gation en Perse</i>
(Paris, Leroux, 1902), is naturally rather expensive for the ordinary
reader.&nbsp; Besides, the rendering of the eminent French savant, while
distinguished by that clear, neat phrasing which is so charming a feature
of all his work, is often rather a paraphrase than a translation.&nbsp;
The ordinary reader who desires to estimate for himself the importance
of the new monument will be forced to wonder how and why the same word
in the original gets such different renderings.&nbsp; Prolonged study
will be needed to bring out fully the whole meaning of many passages,
and it may conduce to such a result to present the public with an alternative
rendering in an English dress.&nbsp; Needless to say, scholars will
continue to use Scheil&rsquo;s edition as the ultimate source, but for
comparative <!-- page ix--><span class="pagenum">p. ix</span>purposes
a literal translation may be welcome as an introduction.</p>
<p>The monument itself consists of a block of black diorite, nearly
eight feet high, found in pieces, but readily rejoined.&nbsp; It contains
on the obverse a very interesting representation of the King Hammurabi,
receiving his laws from the seated sun-god &Scaron;ama&scaron;, &lsquo;the
judge of heaven and earth.&rsquo;&nbsp; Then follow, on the obverse,
sixteen columns of writing with 1114 lines.&nbsp; There were five more
columns on this side, but they have been erased and the stone repolished,
doubtless by the Elamite conqueror, who meant to inscribe his name and
titles there.&nbsp; As we have lost those five columns we may regret
that he did not actually do this, but there is now no trace of any hint
as to who carried off the stone.&nbsp; On the reverse side are twenty-eight
columns with more than 2500 lines of inscription.</p>
<p>A great space, some 700 lines, is devoted by the king to setting
out his titles, his glory, his care for his subjects, his veneration
of his gods, and incidentally revealing the cities and districts under
his rule, with <!-- page x--><span class="pagenum">p. x</span>many interesting
hints as to local cults.&nbsp; He also invokes blessing on those who
should preserve and respect his monument, and curses those who should
injure or remove it.&nbsp; A translation of this portion is not given,
as it is unintelligible without copious comment and is quite foreign
to the purpose of this book, which aims solely at making the Code intelligible.</p>
<p>I desire to express my obligations to Dr. F. Carr for his many kind
suggestions as to the meaning of the Code.</p>
<p>The Index will, it is hoped, serve more or less as a digest of the
Code.&nbsp; One great difficulty of any translation of a law document
must always be that the technical expressions of one language cannot
be rendered in terms that are co-extensive.&nbsp; The rendering will
have implications foreign to the original.&nbsp; An attempt to minimise
misconceptions is made by suggesting alternative renderings in the Index.&nbsp;
Further, by labelling a certain section, as the law of incest, for example,
one definitely fixes the sense in which the translation is to be read.&nbsp;
Hence it is hoped that the Index <!-- page xi--><span class="pagenum">p. xi</span>will
be no less helpful than the translation in giving readers an idea of
what the Code really meant.</p>
<p>No doubt this remarkable monument will be made the subject of many
valuable monographs in the future, which will greatly elucidate passages
now obscure.&nbsp; But it was thought that the interest of the subject
warranted an immediate issue of an English translation, which would
place the chief features of the Code before a wider public than those
who could read the original.&nbsp; The present translation is necessarily
tentative in many places, but it is hoped marks an advance over those
already published.</p>
<p>Dr. H. Winckler&rsquo;s rendering of the Code came into my hands
after this work was sent to the publishers, and I have not thought it
necessary to withdraw any of my renderings.&nbsp; In some points he
has improved upon Professor Scheil&rsquo;s work, in other points he
is scarcely so good.&nbsp; But any discussion is not in place here.&nbsp;
I gratefully acknowledge my obligations to both, but have used an independent
judgment all through.&nbsp; I hope shortly <!-- page xii--><span class="pagenum">p. xii</span>to
set out my reasons for the differences between us in a larger work.&nbsp;
A few of Dr. Winckler&rsquo;s renderings are quoted in the Index, and
marked&mdash;Winckler&rsquo;s tr.</p>
