Description

The majority of Hittite texts recovered from the royal archives of Ḫattuša are ritual texts. The Hittite texts presented in this paper provide a background for understanding when rituals can be regarded as failure. These texts also reveal how the cult's authorities systematically checked whether the divine world was satisfied with the ritual activities. The confirmation procedure was a duty of the royal administration, which ordered and maintained the bureaucratic framework of the cult's royal rituals. Biblical texts show a similar understanding in regard to divine cultic law, but authority here is divided between royalty and the priesthood.
