Hammurabi's Code

Here you see a set of laws created for the Babylonians. Why are laws created? What do they tell you about the society and civilization? What do these laws tell us about the Babylonians? Use the link above to check these out. I love the introduction and conclusion to these laws. Why did Hammurabi feel the need to say those things?

Good Job guys. Here is some information to consider. Abraham (the patriarch--father of Jews) grew up in this civilization. Many of the laws and ideas were incorporated into Moses' laws. What are the similarities between Ham's Code and Moses' laws?
