Abstract

Proceeding from the penalty clause of an Old Babylonian legal document dealing with the false testimony of two nadītum-priestesses and their punishing staining with blood dāmam lapātum), the study investigates in the power of touch expressed by the term lapātum which always effects an exchange between two participants and a therefore resulting change of state, in this special case the desecration of a nadītum-priestess. The only few references revealing a contact with blood demonstrate its enormous power and importance.
