The article offers a new interpretation of a difficult textual section of a remarkable cuneiform tablet from Ebla (modern Tell Mardikh, Syria, ca. 2400 a.C.), which was previously interpreted as a list of administrative episodes. The analysis reveals close parallels with legal materials from later historical periods, such as the laws of Hammurapi, the Middle Assyrian laws, as well as the Deuteronomy. The contribution significantly expands our knowledge on the developmental trajectories of early legislation, as well as on social condition of women in the ancient Near East.
