Much of the morality reflected in Mesopotamia will differ from what we know. For example, the Code of Hammurabi issues the death penalty for theft.
We are only reading excerpts, so material inappropriate for a middle school student will be excluded.
Due to the nature of the study in ancient Mesopotamia, some portions from the Hebrew Bible will be read in order to assess Ancient Israel's relationship with the rest of the Ancient Near East
