Chapter 12 | |
1. |
Then She sets face toward El At the sources of the Two Rivers, |
|
2. |
In the midst of the streams of the Two Deeps. |
|
3. |
She enters the abode of El, |
|
4. |
Goes into the domicile of the King, Father Shunem. |
|
5. |
At the feet of El She bends and falls, |
|
6. |
Prostrates Herself and honors Him. |
|
7. |
She lifts Her voice And shouts: "Let Asherah and Her sons rejoice, The Goddess and the band of Her brood! |
|
8. |
For dead is Aliyan Baal, |
|
9. |
For Perished is the Prince, Lord of Earth!" |
|
10. |
Aloud cries El to Asherah of the Sea: "Hear, O Lady Asherah of the Sea! |
|
11. |
Give one of Thy sons that I may make Him king!" |
|
12. |
And Lady Asherah of the Sea replies: "Let Us make king one who knows how to govern!" |
|
13. |
And the God of Mercy declares: "One feeble of frame will not vie with Baal, Nor wield a spear against Dagon's son." |
|
14. |
When the parley is finished, Lady Asherah of the Sea declares: "Let Us make Ashtar the Terrible king! |
|
15. |
Let Ashtar the Terrible reign!" |
|
16. |
Thereupon Ashtar the Terrible Goes into the heights of Saphon That He may sit on the throne of Aliyan Baal. |
|
17. |
His feet do not reach the footstool, Nor does His head reach it's top. |
|
18. |
And Ashtar the Terrible says: "I cannot rule in the heights of Saphon!" |
|
19. |
Ashtar the Terrible goes down, |
|
20. |
Goes down from the throne of Aliyan Baal, That He may rule over all the grand earth. |
