Download or read book From the Mari Archives written by Jack M. Sasson and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 40 years, Jack M. Sasson has been studying and commenting on the cuneiform archives from Mari on the Euphrates River, especially those from the age of Hammurabi of Babylon. Among Mari’s wealth of documents, some of the most interesting are letters from and to kings, their advisers and functionaries, their wives and daughters, their scribes and messengers, and a variety of military personnel. The letters are revealing and often poignant. Sasson selects more than 700 letters as well as several excerpts from administrative documents, translating them and providing them with illuminating comments. In distilling a lifetime of study and interpretation, Sasson hopes to welcome readers into a fuller appreciation of a remarkable period in Mesopotamian civilization. Sasson’s presentation is organized around major institutions in an ancient culture: (1) Kingship, treating accumulation of wealth, control of vassals, dynastic marriages, treaty-obligations, as well as illustrating the hazards and vexation of ruling a large territory; (2) Administration, from palaces that teem with bureaucrats, musicians, and cooks, to the management of provinces and vassal kingdoms; (3) Warfare, military establishment and martial practices; (4) Society, including organs of justice (and shortcuts to it), crime, punishment, and civil transactions; (5) Religion, including notices on diverse pantheons, rituals, priesthood, cultic paraphernalia, vows, ordeals, and channels to the gods (divination, dreams, and prophecy); and (6) Culture, including ethnic distinctions, class structure, and moments in the life cycle (birth, childhood, family life, health matters, death, and commemoration). Sasson’s presentation of the material brings to life a world entombed for four millennia, concretizes the realities of ancient life, and gives it a human perspective that is at once instructive and entertaining. The book is accompanied by extensive concordances and indexes (including to biblical passages) that will be useful to those who wish to study the letters more intensively.
Download or read book The Chronology of the Kings of Israel and Judah written by Gershon Galil and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-08-21 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering study wrestles with the perpetual problem of chronology in the Books of Kings. Starting from the conservative assumptions that the courts of Israel and Judah maintained regnal records, and that these for the most part accurately reflect regnal length, the author arrives at a new and persuasive dating for the reigns and their synchronisms. In addition, his chronological scheme includes all points of contact between Israel and Judah and external powers, especially Assyria. The result is one of the most responsible and yet most critical chronologies proposed to date, and will be the standard chronological reference for the next decade, if not longer.
Download or read book Biblical Moses and the last king of Mari Zimri Lim are the same person written by Jabbar M. Mammadov and published by USA, Washington. “THE EAST: Ancient & Modern”. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the following parallels, this book states that the last king of Mari, Zimri-Lim (Yahudin-Lim's adopted son), and the biblical Moses are the same person. Thus, Zimri-Lim in his youth organized an unsuccessful coup against Sūmû-Jamam (Bibl.: Pharaoh's overseer), who was the governor of Šamši-Adad I (bibl. Pharaoh-oppressor) in Mari, and fled to the neighboring Yamhad (bibl. "to the land of Midian"). There he married the granddaughter of the king Šumu-Epuh (bibl. Jethro) and lived there for 20 years (1794-1774 BC). After the death of Šamši-Adad I, he acceded to the throne of Mari with the help of his father-in-law Yarīm-Lîm I (bibl. Reuel), who was the heir of Šumu-Epuh. After some time (in 1761 BC), Mari was occupied by the Babylonian king Hammurabi (bibl. Pharaoh of Exodus), whom Zimri-Lim had previously called "elder brother" in all his diplomatic correspondence, and after the occupation of Mari he, too, in turn, had fulfilled his duty as his brother by not interfering with Zimri-Lim and leaving him on the throne as his viceroy. As the new king of Yamhad was his brother-in-law (bibl. Ḥōḇāḇ), the attitude of Zimri-Lim was cool, he did not help him with this matter (as it is written in Num. 10:29-30). After 2 years, the Marians led by Zimri-Lim unsuccessfully attempted to mutiny against Babylonian oppression. After their defeat in 1959 BC all the population of Mari left Mari and, having defeated several local tribes, isolated themselves on the territory of the modern Jordan. After their long tranquil wanderings within these territories, the younger generation led by Joshua had killed Zimri-Lim/Moses ( “Heresy of Peor”), seized the power and organized an attack on the future Canaan. Under the reign of Zimri-Lim in Mari occultism and prophecy were at their peak and Zimri-Lim made no decision without consulting the oracles. The sister of Zimri-Lim Inibšina (bibl. Miriam) was a widow and a priest of the Temple. The population of Mari was called the hanaeans (after the eponym of the Assyrian king Khan), and they were divided into 2 large groups: the bensamilites (the sons of the left side of the Euphrates) and the benjaminites (the sons of the right side of the Euphrates), each of which, in turn, divided into several tribes. The transfer of this whole history from Mari to Egypt had happened when after a short time of their separation in Canaan those areas where occupied by Egypt and the Jews remained under its yoke for several hundred years. At that time the entire national consciousness of the Jews was set against Egypt and the Jewish prophets and leaders fed this hatred by linking all the old wounds of the Jews with Egypt. There was also a crossroads of these 2 canaanites/hanaeans: Mesopotamians ("Kingdom of Khana") with the Palestinian one. The pantheon of deities of both canaanites/hanaeans (Early Israelites and Marians) also coincide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abiding may sound passive and inactive, but it is the active process of stayingstaying close to Jesus, focusing on Him, walking with Him, and living in His light. If walking as He did is how our claim to live in Him is realized, then we need to know what He did that we should be doing as well. Jesus experienced fellowship with His disciples, obeyed His heavenly Father, was humble to the point of death, grew in wisdom and the knowledge of Scripture, and prayed always. God calls each of us to different tasks, places, and purposes, but one thing is consistent for all of us: we cant do any of it or go anywhere without Him. Jesus had His unique purpose in this world as do we, and so just like Him we need to remain in the Father. His life was a living sacrifice, and it is our spiritual act of worship to live like Him. As we step into Gods light, it will shine truth on our livestruth that is sometimes hard to recognize, hard to acknowledge, and hard to live out. But as we learn to live in His light, He gives us clarity, understanding and transforms us from the inside out. We learn to walk in His light shining it wherever we go. Why? God loves the whole world, and He loves you. Everything He calls us to do according to His purpose is to show His love to the world and bring glory to Himself. As you work through the disciplines of fellowship, obedience, humility, meditation, prayer, and worship, you will learn how to draw close to the Father, follow the example of Jesus, and shine His light bright for all to see.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of Syro-Mesopotamian civilization has greatly advanced in the past twenty-five years. In particular the renewed interest in Eastern (or Mesopotamian) Syria has radically altered our understanding of not only the ancient Near East, but of the Bible as well. With Syria east of the Euphrates becoming one of the most active areas of archaeological investigation in the entire Near East, the need for a synthesis of this research and its integration with the Hebrew Bible has greatly increased.This volume charts the state of our knowledge, following a general chronological flow, and will appeal not only to scholars of the ancient Near East but also to Biblical specialists interested in the historical and religious backgrounds to the Israelite and Judahite kingdoms.

Download or read book The Genesis Creation Account and Its Reverberations in the Old Testament written by Gerald A. Klingbeil and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How does the rest of the Bible relate to Genesis 1 and 2? Do the various biblical authors portray creation theologies that align or diverge? In this volume, the first of two, ten scholars--each addressing a different section, genre or topic from the Old Testament--grapple seriously with this question. Collectively, they find that the weight of the textual data of the Old Testament clearly portrays an overarching understanding and theology of creation that permeates every biblical genre and book. These findings should inform the thinking of every honest Christian, whether layperson, theologian, or scientist. At its core, creation theology is all about Who God is, who we are, what our destiny is, and how God chooses to save a world that is in direct rebellion to its Creator." -- Back Cover.
