 | | Kedar-Kopfstein states, "Blood is regarded as the true life substance, so that damu (blood) and balatu (life) can be used in parallelismÖ.In rites of renewal, the blood of the person being renewed is obtained by cutting the skin, or an animal is slaughtered as his substitute and its blood used (1978, 238). | | | It has been suggested that the Hebrews believed that there were two kinds of rain: the beneficial rain that comes from clouds, and destructive rains without the intermediate use of clouds (Sutcliffe 1953 99-103). | | | God could have told us that the sun does not rise nor set, but that the earth is spinning around the sun. |

| | Ugarit and the Bible |
| | At that time both Ebla and Ugarit were under Egyptian hegemony, which shows that the long arm of Egypt extended all along the west coast of the Mediterranean Sea (for Ugarit is located in modern day Syria roughly dead east of the NE coast of Cyprus on the coast of Syria). | | | As in the Ugaritic myth, the purpose of Yahweh’s enthronement is to re-enact creation. | | | This because the worshippers were attempting to convince Baal to send rain on their crops. |

| | I strongly agree with their conclusion that Ugaritic is a dialect of Canaanite, but they exaggerate in several regards. | | | I wish only that political and ideological leanings would not impinge on scholarly research, especially when they can mar an otherwise excellent product. | | | The Rins cite such luminaries as U. Cassuto, H. Ginsberg, Z. Harris, and W. Albright to justify this claim, but many more recent investigators would disagree. |

| | Ugaritic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Ugaritic language is known to us only in the form of writings found in the lost city of Ugarit in Syria since its discovery by French archaeologists in 1928. | | | Ugaritic was "the greatest literary discovery from antiquity since the deciphering of the Egyptian hieroglyphs and Mesopotamian cuneiform." Literary texts discovered at Ugarit include the "Legend of Keret", the "Aqhat Epic" (or "Legend of Danel"), the "Myth of Baal-Aliyan", and the "Death of Baal", all revealing a Canaanite mythology. | | | This Ugaritic alphabet, among the oldest that has been discovered, is different from all other cuneiform writings insofar as it is an alphabet rather than a syllabary. |
