In a report of an eclipse of the moon sent to an Assyrian king in the eighth century B.C., the countries of ‘the Amorites and the Hittites’ represent the whole of Western Asia (R. F. Harper, _Assyrian and Babylonian Letters_, Part iv. p. 345). Footnote 29: The discovery of the name of Shakama or Shechem in the _Travels of the Mohar_ is due to Dr. W. Max Müller (_Asien und Europa_, p. 394). Footnote 30: Or II., according to Maspero, who makes three Hyksos sovereigns of this name. Footnote 31: It is in the possession of Mr. John Ward. Footnote 32: See my _Higher Criticism and the Verdict of the Monument_, pp. 160, 161. Footnote 33: Recent discoveries have made it clear that the Amraphel of Genesis is the Khammu-rabi of the cuneiform texts. Khammu-rabi is also written Ammu-rabi (Bu. 88-5-12, 199, l. 17), and Dr. Lindl has pointed out that the final syllable of Amraphel is the Babylonian _ilu_, ‘god,’ a title which is frequently attached to the name of Khammu-rabi. We learn from the Tel el-Amarna tablets that in the pronunciation of Western Asia a Babylonian _b_ often became _p_. Footnote 34: Pinches, _Certain Inscriptions and Records referring to Babylonia and Elam_, a paper read before the Victoria Institute, Jan. 7, 1896; see also Hommel, _The Ancient Hebrew Tradition_, pp. 180 _sqq._ Footnote 35: Some Assyriologists interpret Manda as ‘much’ or ‘many’; in this case Umman Manda, ‘much people,’ will be still more literally the Hebrew _Goyyim_. Footnote 36: Dr. Scheil, the discoverer of the letters of Khammu-rabi to Sin-idinnam which are now in the Museum at Constantinople, gives the following translations of them (_Recueil de Travaux relatifs à la Philologie et à l’Archéologie égyptiennes et assyriennes_, xix. 1, 2, pp. 40-44): (1) ‘To Sin-idinnam Khammu-rabi says: I send you as a present (the images of) the goddesses of the land of Emutbalum as a reward for your valour on the day (of the defeat) of Kudur-Laghghamar. If (the enemy) trouble you, destroy their forces with the troops at your disposal, and let the images be restored in safety to their (old) habitations.’ (2) ‘To Sin-idinnam Khammu-rabi says: When you have seen this letter, you will understand in regard to Amil-Samas and Nur-Nintu, the sons of Gisdubba, that if they are in Larsa, or in the territory of Larsa, you will order them to be sent away, and that a trusty official shall take them and bring them to Babylon.’ (3) ‘To Sin-idinnam Khammu-rabi says: As to the officials who have resisted you in the accomplishment of their work, do not impose upon them any additional task, but oblige them to do what they ought to have done, and then remove them from the influence of him who has brought them.’ All three letters were found at Senkereh, the ancient Larsa. Fragments of some other letters of Khammu-rabi are in the possession of Lord Amherst of Hackney. See above, p. 12.
