A synthesis of notions of purity and impurity in the Ancient Near reveals that studies on this topic compare the biblical data of that era, but difficult to reconcile with the Hebraic documentation. This chapter is centered on the two aspects of purity and impurity: dirt, defiled. The chapter presents two different periods very richly documented, namely, the third dynasty of Ur and the Paleo-Babylonian period. It tackles very different ‘literary’ genres: i.e., myths, hymns, and incantations for the first period, divinatory series and exorcism manuals for the second. Next, the chapter studies the pure and impure from the perspective of two complementary angles, the cultic function of purity and the treatment of impurity in daily life and in the Neo-Assyrian imperial court. It discusses purity and purification according to Sumerian literature and then presents the means for identifying and analyzing the impurity of the individual in the first millennium. Keywords:exorcism; Hebraic documentation; impurity; Neo-Assyrian periods; Paleo-Babylonian period; purity; Sumerian literature
