HBM #38

§1
Thusly My Sun:
Say to .....:


§2
The troops ought to already be on guard behind (the city(?)). You previously put the matter of the person into the hand (of the god(?)).


§3
Quickly drive into the prescence of My Sun. Whatever matter is current, we ourselves will investigate it by oracle together.

COMMENTARY

§2 My translation "into the hand (of the god)" is simply because the taking of an oracle is mentioned in §3 (ariya-). Has a "matter of a/the person" been settled by oracle before, and now any current matters will be settled together with the king? i.e. an oracle was taken to settle a previous matter?
