Hammurabi Builds Inanna’s Temple

HAMMURABI, MIGHTY KING, KING OF BABYLON,

KING OF THE FOUR QUARTERS OF THE WORLD,

THE BUILDER OF THE TEMPLE EZI-KALAM-MA

(‘HOUSE – THE LIFE OF THE LAND’),

TEMPLE OF THE GODDESS INNANA IN ZABALA

MS in Old Babylonian on clay, Zabala, Babylonia, 1792-1750 BC, 1 brick, 13x29x9 cm, originally ca. 33x29x9 cm, 9 columns, (7×16 cm) in cuneiform script.

Context: There are 10 bricks extant apart from MS 1876/1-2, 9 in the Iraq Museum and 1, former MS 1876/3, now in British Museum (gift from The Schøyen Collection). MS 3028 is a royal inscription on black stone from the shoulder of a statue.

Commentary: Hammurabi (1792-1750 BC), the great king who created the Old Babylonian empire, is today mostly remembered for his famous law code. But he also built a series of great temples like the present one in Zabala. Towards the end of his reign, Hammurabi ordered his law code to be carved on stele which were placed in the temples bearing witness that the king had performed his important function of ‘king of justice’ satisfactorily. The famous stele now in the Louvre, was originally erected in the Sippar temple. The 12 surviving bricks are the only witnesses of the Zabala temple, its law code stele is lost.

II

In the following inscription Assur-bani-pal commemorates the revolt of Elam and its final suppression (after 648 B.C.), as well as certain repairs or alterations which he carried out in the temple of Ishtar of Nineveh, to whom are gratefully ascribed both the inspiration and the merit of his victorious campaigns.

The reference to the fate of Teumman’s successors is not altogether clear, though Tiele (BabylonischAssyrische Geschichte, ii. 399) is probably right in explaining it as an allusion to the triumphal progress of Assur-bani-pal to the gate of the temple of Ishtar in a chariot drawn by the four conquered kings. See W. A. I., v. 10, 29. But in that case the introduction of Ummanigas must be due to an error, for he was killed by his son, Tammaritu, long before the end of the Elamite war, which this barbaric triumph of Assur-bani-pal was intended to celebrate (Smith, History of Assurbanipal, p. 202).

And, as we learn from W. A. I., v. 10, it was the Arabian King Vaiteh, who, together with the three Elamite princes mentioned in our inscription, was compelled to draw the car of Assur-bani-pal.

The inscription appears to have been frequently copied and widely circulated. Four versions are preserved in the British Museum (Nos. 62, 63, 64, 65), and a fifth was discovered at Tartûs (the ancient Antarados) in 1885, of which the text, with a translation, was communicated by Professor Sayce to the Society of Biblical Archeology, and published in their Proceedings (vii. 142). It has further been published and translated by George Smith (History of Assurbp., p. 303), and S. A. Smith (Keilschriftexte Asurbanipals, ii. 10), while a German version by Jensen will be found on p. 264 of the second volume of Schrader’s Keilinschriftliche Bibliothek.1

The following is a translation of the inscription of Assur-natsir-pal referred to in II, note 2. It establishes the identification of Beltis with Ishtar of Nineveh, and also records the fact that “the temple of the library” (?) was originally built or founded by Samsi-Rimmon. Two inscriptions and two only of this ancient king appear to have been preserved;but in both he styles himself “builder of the house of Assur,” which is perhaps the same temple as that which in later records, like the present, we find more particularly associated with Ishtar. The inscription is on a fragment of a votive dish of clay found at Kouyunjik, and now in the British Museum.

Footnotes

91:1 The spirits of the under world opposed to Igigi, the spirits of the upper air.

91:2 In an inscription of Assur-natsir-pal on a small altar brought from Balawât by Mr. Rassam, and numbered 71 in the Nimrud Gallery of the British Museum, the same epithet is applied to Bel. AnaBelimu-na-ri-id khur-sâ-ni a-sib E-kid-mu-ri, etc.—”To Bel, … trampling the wooded mountains under foot, dwelling in E-kid-mu-ri,” etc.

91:3 Or, as Mr. Pinches suggests, “without whom … the herd or tribe would not obey,” taking sibdhu as a collective expressing literally “that which is driven together.” Cf. Ex. xxiv. 4. ‏שׁבטי ישׂראל‎ “the tribes of Israel.” Jensen translates: “ohne dieein Strafgericht (?) nicht günstig ist.” (!) E-sarra is the temple of heaven, opposed to E-kur, the temple of the earth.

92:1 Or, “who causes to attain the heart’s desire of him,” etc.

93:1 The text will be found in the second volume of W. A. I., plate 66, No. 2; but the arrangement of the present translation is different, being that of No. 64, as edited by S. A. Smith.

93:2 It is uncertain whether the name of this temple should be read E-barbar (“Shining House”) or E-masmas, and the meaning of the name is also obscure. However, in W. A. I., ii. 48, 26, barbar (or masmas) is explained by the Assyrian phrase kis-su sa mu-’sa-ri-e, which is interpreted to mean “library” (Sayce, Hibbert Lectures, p. 149), in which case E-barbar would be “the temple of the library.” The original meaning of mu’sarû seems to have been “furrow”; cp. W. A. I., iv. 27, I: bi-i-nu sa ina mu-’sa-ri-e me-e lâ is-tu-u (“seed which in the furrows drinks not water”). Hence, through the idea of what is traced or indented, it comes to mean an inscribed character, an inscription. The temple in question is the temple of Ishtar at Nineveh, which was also restored by Assur-natsir-pal. See W. A. I., iii. 3, 40.

94:1 The words translated “chariot” (itsi sa sa-da-di) mean literally “the wood of drawing,” or “the draught-wood.”

94:2 iski, translated “well-hewn,” I take as an adjective, and connect with the root ‏שּׂכה‎, of which “primaria potestas fortasse est in secando.” The meaning “strong” has also been suggested; in any case it is difficult to see how it can be made (as by S. A. Smith) into a preterite of the first person.

95:1 I venture, on an obvious model, to introduce the phrase, “vicar of Bel,” as more expressive than such terms as “viceroy,” of the combination of functions in a ruler who was not only a king but also a pope.

95:2 The son of Isme-Dagon, cir. B.C. 1820.

95:3 At the end of line 3 I restore u-sa-tir; cp. Tiglath-Pileser, viii. 49, a-na as-ri-su-nu u-tir.

95:4 I restore lu-tir; cp. W. A. I., iii. 3, 23, ana as-ri-su lu-tir.
