The justification for translating the biblical texts, more specifically, the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible, into Sumerian—as well as Akkadian and, in future iterations, Hittite, Luwian, and other languages isolates/ancient Near Eastern languages—lies in Scripture itself, for it is written that the LORD told Abraham to leave his homeland, that is, Ur, “Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land that I will show you” (Genesis 12:1). This occurred during the Third Dynasty of Ur (ca. 2150-2000 BCE), when the great patriarch left southern Mesopotamia at the command of the LORD. Because of this ineffable and indisputable fact, Abraham more probably than not spoke and wrote in Sumerian, and probably Akkadian, too. Therefore, many of these tales were also composed in the oral and written traditions of Mesopotamia, of which we find remnants in the Hebrew Bible itself. For example, the word “Eden” in “Garden of Eden” is a Sumerian loanword, meaning “steppe.” It is clear, then, that the Hebrew Bible has a stream of tradition that reaches far into the remote, Sumerian past. This project aims to recover this reality through philology and translation theory, to imagine what these stories may have looked like in the Sumerian language (among others) to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and other ancient Israelite ancestors. The aim of this project is also to imagine what these great stories may have looked like in other languages from other ancient cultures, be they ancient Indo-European or ancient Near Eastern. This project will provide the reader with a vast amount of scholarly knowledge of biblical truths.
