Canaanite Quotes of Ba’al (Utu)

A Canaanite text describes how Ba’al had sex with his sister Anat (Inanna) after dismissing his wives upon her visit to him.

They looked into each others eyes, and they anointed each others “horns”.

         “He seizes and holds her womb….

         She seizes and holds his ‘stones.’…”

 

        “The maiden Anat (Inanna)…is made to conceive and bear. …”

 

After battling… he arrives home to his father El / Nannar

         “Through the fields of El he comes

         He enters the pavilion of the Father of Years.

         At El’s feet he bows, falls down,

         Prostrates himself, paying homage.

         El, the kindly one, the merciful, rejoices.

         His feet on the footstool he sets.

         He opens his throat and laughs;

         He raises his voice and cries out:

         ‘I shall sit and take my ease,

         The soul shall repose in my breast;

         For Ba’al the mighty is alive,

         For the Prince of Earth exists!’ …”

 

Enlil appointed Sin’s son as the commander of the Mission Control Center:

         “He called in Shamash (Utu) the grandchild of Ninlil.

         He took him (by the hand)

         In Shulim he placed him …”

 

Jerusalem—Ur-Shulim, the “City of Shulim”–was given to Shamash to command. Its name, SHU.LIM, meant “The Supreme Place of the Four Regions”

         “The valiant Utu [is] the herald of the holy Anu the judge,

         the decision-maker of the gods, who wears a lapis lazuli beard,

         who comes from the holy heaven, born of Ningal,

           Enki placed in charge of the entire universe…”

         

          “Brightener of gloom, illuminator of darkness,

        Dispeller of darkness, illuminator of the broad earth …”

         

           “The learned savant who guards the secrets of the gods

         will bind his favored son with an oath before Shamash and Adad …”

      

         “and will instruct him in the secrets of the gods …”

 

         “Thus was the line of priests created,

         those who are allowed to approach Shamash and Adad. …”

 

a text in which Inanna describes passionate lovemaking with her own brother, Utu:

         “My beloved met me, took his pleasure of me, rejoiced together with me.

         The brother brought me to his house, made me lie on its sweet bed…

         In unison, the tongue-making in unison,

         my brother of fairest face made fifty times. …”

       

         “At that time a festival was announced in the city;

         a festival was announced in the city of Inab.

         (Martu said:)

         ‘Come, friends, let us go, let us go there,

         let us visit the ale-houses of Inab, let us go there’ …”

 

        “The god Numucda (Utu) participated in the festival;

         his beloved daughter Adjar-kidug participated in the festival,

         his wife Namrat (Aya), the lovely woman participated in the festival …”

 

It was a place, we suggest, which the Bible called Kadesh-Barnea, and there Abraham stood with his elite troops, blocking the invaders’ advance to the Spaceport proper…it was intended to prevent the return of Marduk and thwart the efforts of Nabu to gain access to the Spaceport.

Marduk’s desire to make Babylon “the heavenward naval in the four regions.” It was to thwart this, that the gods opposing Marduk, ordered Khedorla’omar to seize and defile Babylon:

         “The gods…to Kudur-Laghamar, king of the land of Elam, they decreed:

         ‘Descend there!’

         That which to the city was bad he performed;

         In Babylon, the precious city of Marduk, kingship he overthrew;

         To herds of dogs its temple he made a den;

         Flying ravens, loud shrieking, their dung dropped there …”

 

After the “bad deeds” were done there, Utu / Shamash sought action against Nabu, who (he had said in accusation) had subverted the allegiance of a certain king to his father.

         “Before the gods the son of his father (came);

         On that day Shamash, the Bright One, against the lord of lords, Marduk

         (he said):

         ‘The faithfulness of his heart (the king) betrayed–

         in the time of the thirteen year a falling-out against my father (he had);

         to his faith-keeping the king ceased to attend;

         all this Nabu has caused to happen’ …”

 

Nannar and Utu wavered as Enki spoke, but Enlil and Ninurta were for decisive action. And so with the Council of the Gods was in disarray, the decision was left to Anu.

Nergal had already ordered the priming of “the seven awesome weapons” with their “poisons.”,

         “Anu, lord of the gods, on the land had pity …”

 

The ruler of Sumer and Akkad in 555 B.C. was Nabunaid. As promised by his mother to Sin in exchange for establishing Nabunaid’s reign, he rebuilt Utu’s temple in Sippar called Ebabbara “shining house”. He stated:

         “I sought out its ancient foundation-platform,

         and I went down eighteen cubits into the soil.

         Utu, the Great Lord of Ebabbara…

         Showed me personally the foundation-platform of Naram-Sin, son of Sargon,

         which for 3,200 years no king preceeding me had seen …”

        

        “Utu, who sheds a wide light, …”

       

        “lights up Heaven and Earth …”

 

The Sumerian Kings List records the priestly reign of Enmenduranki in Sippar, then the location of the Spaceport under the command of Utu / Shamash His name:

         “Edmenduranki (was) a priest in Sippar,

         Beloved of Anu, Enlil, and Ea (Enki).

         Shamash in the Bright Temple appointed him.

         Shamash and Adad (took him) to the assembly (of the gods)

         They showed him how to observe oil and water, a secret of Anu, Enlil, and Ea.

         They gave him the Divine Tablet, the ‘kibdu’ secret of Heaven and Earth…

         They taught him how to make calculations with numbers …”

The

         “men of Nippur, Sippar, and Babylon were called into his presence …”

It shall be passed, the gods commanded, from father to son:

         “The learned savant, who guards the secrets of the gods,

         will bind his favored son with an oath before Shamash and Adad….

         and will instruct him in the secrets of the gods …”

The tablet concludes with a postscript:

         “Thus was the line of priests created–

          those who are allowed to approach Shamash and Adad …”

And so priesthood was created!

        

         “The... words of Gilgamesh, her son,

grieving, Queen Ninsun heard over and over.

Ninsun went into her living quarters.

She washed herself with the purity plant,

she donned a robe worthy of her body,

she donned jewels worthy of her chest,

she donned her sash, and put on her crown.

She sprinkled water from a bowl onto the ground.

She… and went up to the roof.

She went up to the roof and set incense in front of Shamash, …”

 

I she offered fragrant cuttings, and raised her arms to Shamash.

‘Why have you imposed–nay, inflicted!–

a restless heart on my son, Gilgamesh!

Now you have touched him so that he wants to travel

a long way to where Humbaba is!

He will face fighting such as he has not known,

and will travel on a road that he does not know!

Until he goes away and returns, until he reaches the Cedar Forest,

until he kills Humbaba the Terrible,

and eradicates from the land something baneful that you hate,

on the day that you see him on the road(?)

may Aja, the Bride, without fear remind you,

and command also the Watchmen of the Night,

           the stars, and at night your father, Sin‘ …”

 

Shulgi’s own words.

         “With valiant Utu, a friend as a brother,

         I drank strong drink in the temple founded by Anu.

         My minstrels sang for me the seven songs of love.

         Inanna, the queen, the vulva of heaven and earth,

         was by my side, banqueting in the temple. …”

 

A “wisdom tablet” under Utu, the great lawgiver reads:

         “Unto your opponent do no evil;

         Your evildoer recompense with good.

         Unto your enemy, let justice be done….

         Let not your heart be induced to do evil….

         To the one begging for alms—give food to eat, give wine to drink….

         Be helpful; do good. …”

 

The Great Hymn To Shamash:

         “You climb to the mountains surveying the Earth,

         You suspend from the heavens the circle of the lands.

         You care for all the peoples of the lands,

         And everything that Ea (Enki), king of the counselors,

         had created is entrusted to you.

         Whatever has breath you shepherd without exception,

         You are their keeper in upper and lower regions.

         Regularly and without cease you traverse the heavens.

         Every day you pass over the broad Earth….

         Shepherd of that breath, keeper of that above,

         You, Shamash, direct, are the light of everything.

         You never fail to cross the wide expanse of sea,

         The depth of which the Igigi (Anunnaki space truckers) know not.

         Shamash, your glare reaches down to the abyss

         So that monsters of the deep behold your light….

         Among all the Igigi there is none who toils but you.

         None who is supreme like you in the whole pantheon of gods.

         At your rising the gods of the lands assemble,

         Your fierce glare covers the land.

         Of all the lands of varied speech,

         You know their plans, you scan their way …”
