Upon Her return to the world above, She carries Great Baal with Her. |
|

Ball goes into the heights of Saphon. |
|
3. |
He confronts Mavet, the Hero. |
|
4. |
Baal seizes the son of Asherah. |
|

The great one He smites on the shoulder. |
|
6. |
The tyrant He smites with a stick. |
|
7. |
Mavet is vanquished, Reaches earth. |
|
8. |
Baal returns to the throne of His kingship, Dagon's son to the seat of His sovereignty. |
|
9. |
From days to months, From months to years, Lo in the seventh year. |
|
10. |
And the God Mavet addresses Himself to Aliyan Baal. |
|
11. |
He lifts His voice And shouts: "Because of Thee, O Baal, I have experienced humiliation. |
|
12. |
Because of Thee, experienced scattering by the sword. |
|
13. |
Because of Thee, experienced burning in the fire. |
|
14. |
Because of Thee, experienced grinding in the millstones. |
|
15. |
Because of Thee, experienced winnowing by the pitchfork. |
|
16. |
Because of Thee, experienced being planted in the feilds. |
|
17. |
Because of Thee, experienced being sown in the sea." |
|
18. |
Thereupon Mavet threatens to destroy Baal in revenge. |
|
19. |
He threatens to take the kingship of Baal. |
|
20. |
Baal expels Him, drives Him out of the heights of Saphon. |
|
21. |
Mavet vows His revenge upon Baal: "And lo, as a brother of Yam Thou art made, Baal is given as retribution for the destroyed sons of My mother!" |
|
22. |
He returns to the Lord of the heights of Saphon, He lifts His voice And shouts: |
|
23. |
"A brother of Yam Thou art made, O Baal! |
|
24. |
As retribution for the destroyed sons of My mother!" |
|
25. |
They shake each other like Gemar-beasts, Mavet is strong, Baal is strong. |
|
26. |
They gore each other like buffaloes, Mavet is strong, Baal is strong. |
|
27. |
They bite like serpents, Mavet is strong, Baal is strong. |
|
28. |
They kick like racing beasts, Mavet is down, Ball is down. |
|
29. |
Up comes Shapash. |
|
30. |
She cries to Mavet: "Hear, O God Mavet! |
|
31. |
How canst Thou fight with Aliyan Baal? |
|
32. |
How will Bull-El, Thy father, not hear Thee? |
|
33. |
Will He not remove the supports of Thy throne? |
|
34. |
Nor upset the seat of Thy kingship? |
|
35. |
Nor break the scepter of Thy rule?" |
|
36. |
The Got Mavet is afraid, El's Beloved, the Hero, is frightened. |
|
37. |
Mavet is roused from His prostration. |
