. God is very upset with Cain
. God can't stand to see the wicked people of the world but he protects Noah because he is righteous
. God seems to be "shaking his head" at these pitiful men who want to reach heaven so he punishes them

. God looks cruel and almost evil for part of the chapter, then he stops Abraham before killing his son because it was only a test of faith

ReplyDeleteI think that Hamm. would agree with some of the rules and dissagree with some. Main diffrences between them is that God is protecting people and human rights, and Hamm. is really only interested in protecting agriculture, the society, and what is good for the city/state as a whole. However the eye-for-an-eye laws are pretty much the same, Hamm. would like that and I think he would also like the specific laws about disrespect and how most all of the laws that have to do with disrespect have a consequence of death.

These rules have several qualities to them that Hammurabi would like. For one, they have a great sense of power beneath them. There is order, dicipline, and command in the laws. Some of them are very similar to Hammurabi's laws, which are the ones saying if you do something to hurt a man, the same thing must be done to you. There were no laws that I can remember that were like the first few laws of the ten commandments (1.There is only one God, 2. Do not bow down to other gods, 3. Do not use the Lord's name in vain, etc.) but Hammurabi would have liked that fact of one leader, and one main source of power. Some of the laws he might think were too easy and were not harsh enough for his governing system were the ones that mentioned commiting a crime and then not being put to death or severly punished. Also the ones with freedom don't seem like something Hammurabi would do. He was very much for the courts, and anything that said something about being able to leave or go free had to do with women being hurt by men and then by the court's rule, being able to go free. So Hammurabi would have liked some of these rules, but he might have added some harsher punishments for a few of them.

ReplyDeleteMany of these biblical laws are very similar to those of Hammurabi's code, meening that Hammurabi would likely agree with most of them. Both god and Hammurabi give the same basic laws, "you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not lie" simply because these laws are essential to keeping stability in any culture. Also, both God and Hammurabi also give laws that are enforced to protect marriage. Being that both documents were written in a similar time period, we can assume that keeping marraiges together was essential to the stability of these cultures at this time. So when the Bible makes marriages something sacred, it gives people even more incentive to stay together, and keep stability in the society, something Hammurabi favored. The bible also uses the "eye for an eye" law making tactic that Hammurabi is famed for. The reason for the eye for an eye law style is probably simply because it was an easy law for people to understand and a good incentive not to something.
