Lesson Plan

The Israelites and the Rule of Law:

In this lesson, students will learn about key figures from Judaism (Abraham and Moses) as well as the practices of law in Israelite civilization.  Then, students will apply what they know about the rule of law in Mesopotamia and in ancient Egypt to determine how the Israelites compared to them.  Students will do this by comparing passages from Hammurabi’s Code to Jewish laws, then explaining the similarities and differences in how the rule of law was practiced in Mesopotamia, Israel, and Egypt.
