Does anyone know what the Esarhaddon Covenants in the Bible are?

Question

Links would be highly appreciated :-)

Answer 1

My understanding is that they were oaths of allegiance to Essarhadden, like oath's of fealty.

The claim is that the content of the curses is similar to those of the Esarhaddon treaties, and so shows extensive borrowing from documents of this era. This claim is not accurate. The main motivation seems often to be that the number of curses in Deuteronomy is broadly similar to that in the Esarhaddon treaties. This, however, is misleading. The Esarhaddon treaties are much shorter documents, yet the curses take up around half the content. In proportional terms the Deuteronomy curse section is extremely small in comparison - much more in keeping with the Middle Hittite or Law Code form.
