The clothes of his body he is 1 See " Sabbath " in Hasting^ B.D.j Encyclopcedia Biblica j Reli- gion of Egypt and Babylonia, by Sayce, pp. 272, 476; Expository Times, November, 1906: Statistics of Sabbath-keeping in Babylonia, by C. H. W. Johns.
55 56 THE BABYLONIAN SABBATH not to change, fine dress [?] he is not to put on.
Sacrifices he is not to bring, nor is the King to ride in his chariot.... He is not to hold court, nor is the priest to seek an oracle for him in the holy of holies.^ The physician is not to be brought to the sick-room.^ The day is not suitable for invoking curses.^ At night, in the presence of Marduk and Ishtar, the King is to bring his gift. Then he is to offer sacrifices, so that his prayer may be acceptable." The comparison with the Biblical Sabbath naturally suggests itself. The choice of the 7th day and the others rests in both cases upon the lunar calendar.
