Chapter 6 | |
1. |
Loudly Bull-El, Her father, shouts, |
|
2. |
King El who brought Her into being; |
|
3. |
There shout Asherah and Her sons, |
|
4. |
The Goddess and the band of Her brood: |
|
5. |
"Lo there is no house unto Baal like the Gods. |
|
6. |
Not a court like the sons of Asherah: |
|
7. |
The dwelling of El, |
|
8. |
The shelter of His sons. |
|
9. |
The dwelling of Lady Asherah of the Sea, |
|
10. |
The dwelling of the renowned brides. |
|
11. |
The dwelling of Pidray, girl of Light. |
|
12. |
The shelter of Tallay, girl of rain. |
|
13. |
The dwelling of Arsay, girl of Yaabdar." |
|
14. |
And the God of Mercy replied: "Am I to act as a lackey of Asherah? |
|
15. |
Am I to act like the holder of a trowel? |
|
16. |
If the handmaid of Asherah will make the bricks |
|
17. |
A house shall be built for Baal like the Gods. |
|
18. |
Yea a court like the sons of Asherah." |
|
19. |
And Lady Asherah of the Sea replied: |
|
20. |
"Thou art great, O El, Thou are verily wise! |
|
21. |
The gray of Thy beard hath verily instructed Thee! |
|
22. |
Here are pectorals of gold for Thy breast. |
|
23. |
Lo, also it is the time of His rain. |
|
24. |
Baal sets the season, |
|
25. |
And gives forth His voice from the clouds. |
|
26. |
He flashes lightning to the earth. |
|
27. |
As a house of cedars let Him complete it, |
|
28. |
Or a house of bricks let Him erect it! |
|
29. |
Let it be told to Aliyan Baal: 'The mountains will bring Thee much silver. |
|
30. |
The hills, the choicest of gold; |
|
31. |
The mines will bring Thee precious stones, |
|
32. |
And build a house of silver and gold. |
|
33. |
A house of lapis gems!'" |
|
34. |
The Virgin Anath rejoices. |
|
35. |
She jumps with the feet |
|
36. |
And leaves the earth. |
