The Code of Hammurabi, engraved on a 2.25-meter diorite stele discovered at Susa, is Antiquity's most famous law code. Its parallels with biblical legal codes — the Covenant Code, Deuteronomic laws, Holiness Code — are both striking and revelatory, attesting to a common Near Eastern legal heritage while revealing the Torah's distinctive egalitarian ethic.
