The archaeological discovery in 1902 of a stone documenting over 300 laws governing Babylonia during the reign of Hammurabi shows some similarities with this chapter. Ex 21:16 as well as the Hammurabi code indicate that the slave trade was considered a grave offense punishable by death. In Ex 21:23 a man must pay for murder with his own life. However, the Babylonian law indicates that a man may substitute his daughter in his stead. But this injustice was not permitted in the Mosaic law. In contrast to Ex 21:26, the Babylonian law speaks as if injuries were inflicted on the master of the servant rather than the servant himself. But the Hebrew law uniquely does not consider a servant the unconditional property of his master. In general the laws in Exodus focus more on the rights of individual human beings and the sanctity of life than do the Babylonian laws. While many laws in the Hammurabi code are different, there may be some indication that both laws go back to a common source. God desired fairness and justice to be exercised among His people, anciently and today. How are we treating those around us? Michael Hasel
