who is hammurabi what are his code of laws
Answers
Hammurabi was the sixth king of the First Babylonian Dynasty, reigning from 1792 BC to 1750 BC. He was preceded by his father, Sin-Muballit, who abdicated due to failing health. There are 282 laws in which some strictly followed or important are:
If any one accuses another of murder but cannot prove it, then the accuser shall be put to death.
2. If anyone accuses someone else of sorcery, the accused shall leap into the river, and if s/he drowns the accuser shall take possession of the accused's house and belongings. However, if the accused reaches the shore unharmed and the river thus proves that the accused is innocent of the charges, then the accuser shall be put to death, while the one who leaped into the river shall take possession of the house and belongings of the accuser.
If any one brings an accusation that involves a capital murder charge and does not prove what he has charged, the accuser shall be put to death.
5. If a judge tries a case, reaches a decision, and presents his judgment in writing but later an error is found that is the judge’s own fault, then the judge must pay twelve times the fine set by him in the case; in addition, he shall be publicly removed from the judge's bench, never again to sit on the bench nor render judgment.
6. If anyone steals anything from the temple or the court, he will be put to death, and also the one who has received the stolen goods will be put to death
1792 BC to 1750 BC.
