The San Francisco call., 1910-06-12

Hilprecht, in his analysis of the Akkadian words,
has uncovered certain analogical terms which aid in
the understanding of the biblical language For in
stance, he shows that the translation of the Hebrew
word which gave window in the English was
faulty. 1t should have been "roof" In view of this
change the Nippur tablets phrase cover with
strong deck or roof constitutes important link
REMARKABLE CoRRoBoRATIoN
Another remarkable connection lies behind the err
ror by which biblical translators adopted kind or
species as the meaning of the Hebrew word This
Hebrew word originally borrowed from the
Babylonian and has hitherto been puzzle to Old
Testament students, since its meaning is number
and in the text for its number When Professor
Hilprecht discovered the Babyonian equivalent for
this word in identical connection, a food story
he cleared up the obscure meaning. The Babylonian
Noah is commanded to take from all living things
only two, instead of a number"
he biblical text revised in the light OF this in
birds, instead of number thereof; (two) from the
beasts instead of number thereof; (twO) Of every
creeping thing OF the earth, instead of number
keep them alive"
Professor Hiprecht seized upon tbs word which
he renders house boat as most interesting ampli-
hcatlon of the meaning conveyed BY the biblical
word ark The Akkadian inscription gave it as
magur boat. He found in Babyonian literature
that magur boat was large and heavy craft
propelled by poles towed through the canals, also
that the Babylonian gods were sometimes supposed
to live "magurH boats
Having presented his discovery and commented
upon far its Assyrologcal interest goes Pro-
lessor Hiprecht leaves the rest of the discussion to
the theologists after making one further point The
deluge story must form part of the oldest traditions
OF Israel Agreeing as it does, so closely with the
Nppur version IT must have been received BY the au
thors of the Old Testament before Nppurs glory and
vitality passed in 1000 B. c. He indicates that the
deluge story could not have entered Canaan except
at the time Of the emigration of Abraham who nTob
ably brought it with him from the plains of Shinar
some two hundred years after the Nippur tablet was
truly historical person.

fragments in the basement OF the museum with the
exception of the supposed deluge story which took
to my study For three continuous weeks person
ally spent from to two hours every day upon this
fragment endeavoring to one cuneiform char
acter after another by removing the ncrustatons and
other deposits of hardened dirt without damaging the
writing below until had completely deciphered every
sign"
The inscription finally stood forth disointed and far
from perfect but teeming with significance Professor
Hprecht placed the probable date of its composition
at 2100 B. C.
Investigators have always sought a confirmation of
the biblical flood story in the literature or legends of
races other than the Jews Frequent traces of such
story have been discovered but nothing that closely
corresponds with the Old Testament account Archae
'ologists have been particularly keen in rummaging
through Assyrio- -Babylonan remains for versions of
the great deluge, since the neghbors of the Jews
might be expected to have beliefs in common
with them
Heretofore, apart from the tradition of great
flood handed down by the Babylonian priest Bero-
sus 600 B. c., fragments of three distinct deuge
stories have been found among cuneiform writings.
One now IN the possession of j. Pierpont Nor
gan, was dated 1868 B. C. and could barely be den-
tilted as version of the delnge. The others, found
in the ruins of the library of King Ashurbanapal at
Nineveh, were Assyrian copies of undiscovered
Babylonian original and were written about $50 B. c.
Their resemblance to the biblical version was in
terestng but vague andsunconvincing
But here, under Professor Hilprechts hand, was a
Babylonian flood version which antedated the writ
ing OF the biblical by centuries possibly be-
ing the very original from which the corrupt Nineveh
versions were adopted And the important, striking
TACT was that this ancient Babyonian version closely
resembled its corresponding passage as given in ths
Old Testament not only in general plan but in phrase
ology. Thus it was proved that the Babylonians on
the plain of Shnar, as far back as 21O0 B. c. had
The San Francisco call., 1910-06-12

worked into their religion of EMIL food story which
the Jewish scribes later accepted and wrote into
Genesis ancient Jewish belief. 1t was also
shown that the Jewish account must have come from
the undehed Nippur rather than from the dis
torted Nineveh editions In this connection 1t IS
sgnhcent to remember that Abraham was living at
Or of the Chaldees long after the Nippur tablet
was written.
The Nippur fragment, being but small section OF
a large tablet furnish comprehensive summary
OF the original Babylonian deluge legend For this
the investigator turns to of the Nneveh tablets
which is practically complete and which serves to
give outline OF the story and to show the general
subject undoubtedly treated at length the Nppur
tablet originally written.
The food story forms part OF the great national
epic poem and sacred book of the Babylonians which
centers about the person of King Glgamesh, semi
mythical hero Gilgamesh passes through series OF
marvellous adventures in the course OF his wandering
about the earth He is in search of the great gift
which man has sought and which it needs no Gil
gamesh to come from the shadowy past to introduce
motve-immortality His question to all he meets
IS How shall eternal life?" And the answer
each time is "The life which thou seekest thou wilt
not find for when the gods created man they prepared

THE BIBLICAL STORY

Professor Hprecht supplied the phrases inclosed
by parentheses where such additions seemed to be
logically indicated
The biblical story follows
Gen vi 2 And the Lord said. L will destroy man
whom have created from the face of the earth, and
