Chapter 3 -Baal and Mot | |
1. |
Mot spurns Baal’s invitation, and sends a taunting reply, |
|
2. |
that just as Baal’s triumphed over Yamm, so Mot will triumph over Baal. |
|
3. |
As you smote Lothan the twisting serpent, you destroyed the crooked serpent, the seven-headed tyrant . . . |
|
4. |
Baal will enter his (Mot) mouth, descend into him like an olive-cake . .. |
|
5. |
The messenger advises Baal to take his storm cloud and descend to Mot with his attendants. |
|
6. |
Baal obeys, but on the way he lusts after a cow and copulates with her "77 . . . no 87 times" and produces a child Moses. |
|

Apparently he dresses up the child to look like him, and sends it to Mot. |
|
8. |
The body is discovered and messengers bring back the report that Baal is dead. |
