First, we need to understand the connection between âthings strangledâ and âblood.â Lenski noted: ââFrom a thing strangled and from bloodâ may be considered together since both alike involve blood. An animal that was not butchered but snared and killed by strangling still had blood in itâ (1961, p. 616).
Hammurabi was born circa 1810 BC in Babylon, modern day Iraq. The lasting contribution of Hammurabi on Babylonian society was his set of laws written on twelve stones and displayed publicly for all to see, the most common being, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth.. The laws are commonly known as Hammurabi's Code.
Hammurabi Biography. The Code of Hammurabi is one of the earliest known examples of human laws being defined and written down in an orderly way. Little is known about Hammurabi himself; he ruled Babylon nearly four millennia ago, from roughly 1792-1750 B.C. The code has 282 entries covering all sorts of civil interactions, from inheritance to theft to slave ownership.
