Answer:

Both laws have  striking similarities, but they also exhibit other differences as explained in the following

Explanation:

Both laws have  striking similarities, but there are also vast differences. And the differences show how one is far superior to the other.

In the similarities both are sets of laws designed to help society function in ways so that it could prosper, and these laws contained particular civil rights.

They both share in the protection of marriage, family, property damage, injury, murder, robbery, theft, kidnapping and even in commerce, so they both act as stabilizers of society. 

Here are some differences between both.

The source of the Book of the hebrew Covenant is God; the source for the Hammurabi laws is Hammurabi the Babylonian king in ancient Mesopotamia. The hebrew Covenant protects the disenfranchised members of society, regardless of their place or rank in society, while the Code of Hammurabi is interested only in the free men class and gives special protection to the middle and higher social classes of Babylon. Another difference  was the fact that God was interested in creating a kingdom of priests, a holy nation in the hebrew law, but Hammurabi’s motivation is for prosperity and longevity on the throne.
