| | Babylonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Nabonidus, in fact, had excited a strong feeling against himself by attempting to centralize the religion of Babylonia in the temple of Merodach (Marduk) at Babylon, and while he had thus alienated the local priesthoods, the military party despised him on account of his antiquarian tastes. | | | The permission to do so was embodied in a proclamation, whereby the conqueror endeavoured to justify his claim to the Babylonian throne. | | | The feeling was still strong that none had a right to rule over western Asia until he had been consecrated to the office by Bel and his priests; and accordingly, Cyrus henceforth assumed the imperial title of "king of Babylon." |

| | The fact proves the long and permanent influence of Babylonian culture from the banks of the Euphrates to the shores of the Mediterranean, and is intelligible only in the light of the further fact that the empire of Sargon of Akkad had been founded more than two thousand years before. | | | Its elements, indeed, were foreign, but long before it had been communicated to the nations of the west it had become almost completely Semitic in character. | | | Edom, indeed, had long since been lost, and with it the trade with the Arabian seas, but the Philistines continued to acknowledge the supremacy of Judah, and commercial relations were kept up with Egypt. |

| | The Story Of Religious Controversy: Chapter VIII |
| | We have in the previous section swept aside the oldest and worst calumny of the ancient Babylonians. | | | We have now to get a more positive knowledge of the Babylonian character, and again we shall find a remarkable series of discoveries vindicating the old civilization and actually showing us that Judaism and the Old Testament were deeply indebted to it. | | | Here again, we may note in passing, the Babylonians were the teachers of the Jews. |

| | SermonFifteen - Labor and Sabbath in Partnership |
| | In Judaism, we read "You shall not abuse a needy and destitute laborer, whether a fellow countryman or a stranger in one of the communities of your land. | | | So the Sabbath, which means "to rest" (from the Hebrew verb shavot) has its roots in Judaism, although it is also in ancient Babylonian law. | | | When they accused him of breaking the Sabbath law by healing someone on that day, he responded, "Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." (Mark 2:27) He was saying that there are certain necessary things to be done, especially humanitarian things whether it the Sabbath or not. |

| | A Comparison and Contrast of Australian and Babylonian Law. Free Essay |
| | The Macquarie Dictionary defines 'law' as "the principals and regulations emanating from a government and applicable to a people." This is a fairly broad definition, which can be applied to most legal systems, contemporary and ancient, as it describes the ways in which a legal system will direct and reflect a society and its values. | | | The choice of Babylonian law is significant as Babylonian legal works greatly affected Jewish and Roman thoughts, which in turn greatly influenced modern law. | | | The Babylonian legal system was based upon a set of codes, drawn up by the Babylonian king, Hammurabi. |
