LG 3: Identify the impact of Hammurabi’s Code of Laws and the Ten Commandments. (TEKS/SEs 20B)

Mesopotamia Evolves… ~10,000 years ago: Neolithic Revolution ~5,500 years ago: Early River Valley Civilizations began around the world, including Mesopotamia One of the kingdoms of Mesopotamia was Babylon, which grew stronger & conquered Sumer Hammurabi = leader of the Babylonian Empire during its peak (1792 BC- 1750 BC)

Hammurabi’s Code Hammurabi created world’s first legal code* All Babylonian citizens had the same laws to follow Unified the empire Government regulated its own people Based on the idea of “an eye for an eye & a tooth for a tooth” (retaliation) Recorded them on tablets & spread across the empire Different people faced different punishments based on social class & ranking Examples: fines for wealthier people were higher than for poor Women & men had different consequences Ask what type of writing they would have been using Have them write 1 example of different punishments faced by people

A Sampling of Hammurabi’s laws “6. If any one steal the property of a temple or of the court, he shall be put to death, and also the one who receives the stolen thing from him shall be put to death.” “197. If he break another man's bone, his bone shall be broken.”

The Spread of Civilization: Ancient Hebrews Lived in present-day Israel, Lebanon & Jordan Influenced by Mesopotamia & Egypt According to tradition, Abraham, the forefather of the Hebrews, grew up in Ur, Mesopotamia and later moved to Israel Hebrews were extremely unique: they were monotheistic* at a time of polytheism* Not only that, but did not believe god had human or animal characteristics Hebrews religion: Judaism Note: Hebrew, Semites, Jews and Israelites are often used to refer to the same group of people.

Ancient Hebrews, continued Early history of Hebrews & Judaism recorded in the Torah & Old Testament of the Bible According to the books, the ancient Hebrews migrated to Egypt to escape food shortages caused by drought in Israel Enslaved until Moses led them out of slavery Map and Egyptian illustration of Hebrews entering Egypt from http://schooltoolbox1.weebly.com/hebrews.html

The 10 Commandments Moses also presented the Hebrews with the Ten Commandments: a moral code for how people should behave Not a legal code* Around 1,000 BC Hebrews returned to Israel, where new people were living. Result: wars & eventual theocracy*. Charlton Heston as Moses

Influence of Judaism Idea of monotheism spread in the region Provided foundation for both Christianity and Islam Later, the Romans forced Hebrews to far ends of empire Jewish Diaspora (diaspora: spread of people around the world)
