I chose rule #126 on the list of rules on Hammurabi’s Code. If any one who has not lost his goods state that they have been lost, and make false claims: if he claim his goods and amount of injury before God, even though he has not lost them, he shall be fully compensated for all his loss claimed. It means that if someone says something like, “I lost my bag of corn while I was sleeping! Somebody robbed my house!!!” but later someone sees a bag of corn under his bed. His punishment is to lose that bag of corn.

I also chose rule #127 on the list of rules on Hammurabi’s Code. If any one “point the finger” (slander) at a sister of a god or the wife of any one, and can not prove it, this man shall be taken before the judges and his brow shall be marked (by cutting the skin, or perhaps hair.) It means that if someone accuses a sister of a god or a wife of anyone, and you don’t have proof that you didn’t do it, for example, someone accuses a sister of god of not being fair, then his punishment is so be taken to the judges and his eyebrow will be marked either by cutting the skin or the hair.
