the story goes like this
the list to compare
from the law of Moses
Exodus 21:28-30 (Law of Moses)
28. lf an ox gores a man or woman and he dies, the ox shall be stoned, its flesh shall not be eaten; the owner of the ox is not liable.
29. lf an ox is a habitual gorer, from previous experience, and its owner has been warned, but he did not restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, the ox shall be stoned and its owner shall be put to death.
30. If ransom is laid upon him, he shall pay the redemption price for his life, according to whatever is laid upon him.
now from.....
Law of Hammurabi 250-251 (Pre-existing Law of Moses)
250. If an ox gores a man while passing through the street and kills (him), that case has no claim.
251. If a man's ox is a habitual gorer, and his district has informed him that it is a habitual gorer, but he did not file its horns and did not control his ox, and that ox gores a man (lit. son of a man) and kills (him), he shall pay one-half mina (= thirty shekels) of silver.
In short, from a scholarly perspective, the author of Mosaic Law was, in certain laws, strongly influenced by the author of a pre-existing non-Israelite code.
is there more YES!
This is a Law in which Moses, having been inspired, draws much of its framework based upon pre-existing legal laws and concepts.
Moses was taught the secrets and wisdom of the elite Egyptian priesthood and its philosophers: "..
.
it should be no surprise that Moses included Egyptian laws in his expression of Law to the Israelites.
Sixth Dynasty (2345–2181 BC) tomb artwork in Egypt, is thought to be the oldest documentary evidence of circumcision, the most ancient depiction being a bas-relief from the necropolis at Saqqara (c. 2400 BC) [2].
Hence, male circumcision was considered to be a sacred undertaking by the Egyptian priesthood;
thus Moses would clearly consider circumcision to be a part of the sacred Law of the Israelites; or rather, Moses would know that God had spoken to him about creating a Law and thus included the law of circumcision; a strong instrument for spirit communion such as Moses, who was culturally indoctrinated with the sacred teaching of circumcision, would be convinced that this law should be a part of the Law he was impressed to lay down.
Hmmmm interesting stuff.
So rather than ''AN ANGEL INSPIRED ME'' on the mountain is was a...............pre existing.......................... custom carried over to the Hebrews.....the truth of this matter is...Angels gave the earlier Law for Israel at Mount Sinai.
It was common knowledge among the Jewish people in the 1st century that the Law of God was presented to Moses by angels — and not directly by God himself.
Josephus, the Jewish priest/historian of the 1st century and an expert in Jewish beliefs at the time, said:
When the evangelist Stephen rebuked the Jewish authorities in Jerusalem for going against the Law, he said they were those:
(Acts 7:53).
''angels'' = are messengers and can be HUMAN.
DO YOU THINK it seems as IF the Father of Jesus, didn't advise circumcision.....but it was a ''custom'' Moses himself imparted into this ''LAW'' given by angels [ that could have well been human agents]
Did Moses copy the Law from the Code of Hammurabi?"
Answer:
Hammurabi was a Babylonian king who reigned from 1795 to 1750 B.C.
He is remembered today for promoting and enforcing an organized code of laws.
The Code of Hammurabi, discovered on a stele in 1901, is one of the best preserved and comprehensive of ancient writings of significant length ever found.
The Hammurabian Code is divided into 12 sections and consists of 282 laws, 34 of which are unreadable.
The Code is primarily a case-by-case formula of customary law covering administrative, civil, and criminal issues.
The complexity of the laws and their subject matter reveal much about ancient Babylonian culture.
About 300 years after Hammurabi, in 1440 B.C., Moses recorded the Law for the Israelites.
Because the Mosaic Law contains some similarities to Hammurabi’s Code, some critics of the Bible believe that Moses copied from the Hammurabian Code.
If they’re right, and Moses simply stole the law then the whole episode at Mount Sinai is false (Exodus 34), and the inspiration of Scripture is suspect.
