Code of Hammurabi The world's earliest known legal code, the Code of Hammurabi dates from the 18th century BCE and is engraved in cuneiform on a black rock that was excavated by French archaeologists in The laws were codified during the reign of Hammurabi, a Babylonian king who ruled from 1792 to 1750 BCE. On the stone, Hammurabi is pictured receiving the laws from the Babylonian sun god, Shamash. Remarkable for the humane nature of its laws, the Code of Hammurabi's deals with many of the same issues that would later appear in another Semitic code of laws, that of the Israelites. The Code of Hammurabi includes laws regarding property, family, and morality and also states the punishments to be inflicted on lawbreakers. From these laws much can be learned about social status, economic concerns, and family relationships in ancient Babylonia. The code's prologue proclaims Hammurabi's authority and accomplishments as king, as well as his intention to preserve the "rule of righteousness"—including preventing the oppression of the weak and providing justice to the disadvantaged—with his law code. The epilogue warns that the gods will punish future rulers who choose not to retain and enforce Hammurabi's laws.
