    The Middle Assyrian Laws concerning adultery were designed to give the people of Assyria a method to handle the adultery justly. The entire point of both the Middle Assyrian Laws and the Law of Moses is justice, or a way to service or repay a wrongdoing in order that right relationship might be achieved.

It has become more concealed, blurring the lines that determined who is responsible for the hindrance of equality experienced by the black population.
