Product description
The warrior of King Hammurabi, named Balmu-namhe, entered the military service as a redum (heavily armed infantryman), receiving as a silt two boers of land (about 12.7 hectares), two bulls and a dozen sheep.
In the 34th year of Hammurabi’s reign, he bought a slave for 13 shekels of silver for the Balmu Namha silver accumulated during the service with 10 witnesses. A few days later, the slave had an epileptic seizure and Balmu-namhe demanded the termination of the contract of sale.
To buy land, Balmu-namhe borrowed ten shekels of silver from the moneylender Niteni at the rate of half a shekel and ten shekels as a percentage. After some time, Balmu-namhe was captured during a military campaign, not having time to return the debt to the usurer. To cover the debt, the wife of Balmu-namhe sold two bulls received from Hammurabi and one drill of land (about 6, 35 hectares). However, this was not enough to cover the debt and interest. Therefore, Niteni unauthorizedly took half of the Balmu-namhe sheep and two bags of grain from his granary. At the same time, he took the son of Balmu-namhe to handle the debt, who, after three and a half years, ill from ill-treatment and nutrition, died in the usurer’s house.
How to solve the incident under the Laws of Hammurabi? Did Redum have the right to buy a slave for the silver accumulated during the service? Could a warrior terminate a contract of sale of a slave? What is the maximum percentage of a loan agreement a lender could charge? Could a warrior’s wife sell part of her property? Are the actions of the moneylender to self-extract sheep and grain from the granary of a soldier? What is the term of debt servicing? What responsibility will the moneylender bear for the death of a warrior’s son?
