The Sumerians, deeply connected to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers that cradled their civilization, had a profound reverence for these waterways, which was reflected in their religious rituals. One such ritual was the ‘mîs-pî’, an intricate ceremony that involved the ‘washing of the mouth’ of divine statues, symbolizing purification and the induction of life into the idols.

In Christianity, the concept that judgment belongs to God alone is rooted in the belief that only God possesses the perfect wisdom and justice required to judge human actions and intentions fairly. This idea is supported by various scriptural references which suggest that while humans can make judgments about behaviour and actions, ultimate judgment is reserved for God.
