The book describes the lots similarities in the company of biblical counterfeit and Canaanite counterfeit. Show is the precise wear and tear of educational motifs, imagery and similarities. Hebrew writers whje once they wrote the bible had a complete form of poetry. Ugaritic literature and Canaanite Lettering predated the time of the Patriarchs so scholars have in stock get hard that Israelites were using references and inspired styles on loan from Canaanite literature. In fact it is now thought that the Israelites divided off from the Canaanites.
The book analyzes two stories that have in stock been salvaged from Ugarite. The leading one pertains to the war in the company of Baal, Anaths brother and Yam the God of the Sea. El and Ashera were the leading two deities to supervision the world. As they got erstwhile they were pushed observation by the three brother Gods, Yam, Baal who is the god of grass and rain, and Mot, the God of death. What these three gods have in stock burden over the Realm put on is some puncture or tussle as to who will supervision what. So put on is fighting. Anath allies with her brother Baal.
The leading counterfeit indicates that Baal is dining with guests once he is challenged by emissaries of the Sea God. The Sea God requests him handed over. Meanwhile Anath's fort is attacked by secular clique of Yam. She defeats them and wears their heads like a belt and their hands like bandoleers. War next continues with Anath defeating the allies of Yam upper limit of epistle is the 7 headed dragon whom she muzzles and the pronounce of the Rivers.
Anath is called the Perpetual virgin and Baal is called the acclimatize of the vapors. God in the bible further is called the acclimatize of the vapors and he further defeats the sea and forces it to sort it's boundaries. God further defeats the Leviathan and lockes it in the deeps. Adequately of snug parallels.
The Twinkling counterfeit is about Baal's tussle with death. Baal loses the tussle and dies and next Anath comes comes in and slays death. Finally Baal is returned to the surface world and the rains return so the crops can come into view. Any discussed is how Anath negotiates with El to have in stock a fort built for Baal. Anath does not ask fountain but pressurize, throws and be in a temper tantrum and scares the day lights out of El. She further get's suited from Ashera. Katir wHassis is summoned from Egypt to do the job.
Compelling of epistle is that in Baals fort the windows are slam as death may gush in the midst of and murder his band. In the Bible harmonizing air are articulated about death coming in the midst of the sheet.
By way of all good book a bit intellectual and too faraway note is devoted to diagramming words that it might bore one partly to death. The book is further out cold and I am instinctive new information has been liberated. I was expecting to learn advanced about Anath.Claim the blog
