Epilogue

The ending of Hammurabi's code

Summary

After validating the authority of his rule and general fairness, Hammurabi invokes deities like Marduk, Adad, Ishtar, Enlil, and others to ask them to curse, stop, or overpower anyone who tries to alter the contents of the artifact (the basalt stele). The Epilogue's poetic and self-praising nature is indicative of language used by prior Mesopotamian rulers, and the Ancient Near East in general.

Law Code of Hammurabi

O Shamash, almighty judge of heaven and earth who directs the lives of all living creatures, the lord in whom I trust, overthrow his kingdom, do not judge his cause, confuse him on his path, cause the foundations of his military power to crumble, when he seeks divination send an inauspicious portent, [so that the] foundations of his kingdom will be torn up and he will lose his land; let the bitter words of Shamash quickly overpower him; cut him off from those who live above, in the land below make his shadow thirst for water.
