There’s a missing 1953 item by this author cited in Chapter 10 that we need help identifying and adding to the Chapter 10 Bibliography and book Bibliography chapter (either in addition to or instead of the 1963 citation; let us know which you think is the case). We thought perhaps 1953 in the Chapter 10 body could have been a typo for 1963, but the page numbers don’t align (page 874 is cited, but the page range in 1953 is 536–541), so it may indeed be a different text.
Verify, build on, or correct the text as written. Join the research!

- Query 1: Quotation: “establish equity (nig.sisa) and justice (nig.gina) in the land.”
- Query 2: In-text citation: Ephraim Speiser[1] (1953: p. 874)
- Query 3: Quotation: “kittum” represented “that which is firm, established, true”
- Query 4: Quotation: “The two terms are mutually complementary. … An immutable aspect of cosmic order, kittum is semantically the same as Biblical ‘emet (from *’amint), the original force of which still survives in the common loanword ‘Amen.’ The independent function of a ruler, whether divine or human, is confined to misharum, that is, just and equitable implementation.”
