Was the Pentateuch inspired by Hammurabi?

The Bible makes reference to numerous people that lived in that period and who worshipped God and were not Israelites, such as Melchizedek.

I want this meme to die.

(((They))) forged this whole thing. Hammurabbi never existed nor did this code of his. (((They))) forged it to make it look like the Bible plagiarized.

Well, I'll only skimmed your post. But from what I can gather there are multiple approaches one can take to this.
1. It's the other way around

2. They independently came up with the same rule, not unheard of if said rule is a good idea

3.They worshipped God
King Darius would be an example of a babalonian who worshipped God, I would even say Hammurabi was inspired by him if not that I don't know when King Darius ruled.

does OP not know that Moses wrote the pentateuch?

What a purely Christian set of replies, no other religions adherents would reply to my post like that, just Christians.

If we take the Eruption of Thera as coinciding with the plague of darkness (this also lines up the destruction of Jericho with the carbon dating of the walls of Jericho), then we're looking at around 1650BC to 1550BC.

Most of the Israelites were polythestic - it is possible that God revealed himself to the Babylonians, as he did to many others (e.g. the Assyrians of Nineveh through the prophet Jonah). Abraham knew about God before he was called in the book of Genesis - he wasn't a polytheist before God spoke to him. I have no doubt that other groups of people have known about God throughout the ages.

I wouldn't say that. It's likely he could have arrived at the same kind of morality through reason, like how Plato had some correct conclusions about the nature of God.

Yeah you know your scripture.

It's not "broken". He came to fulfill the old law, not destroy it. The Pentatuch isn't some kind of hoax or mistake.
