The dragon-conflict in Isaiah 27:1and related material in the ‘Isaiah Apocalypse’

Isaiah 27:1
On that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the twisting serpent, Leviathan the crooked serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea. As has frequently been pointed out, these words from the proto-apocalyptic work in Is. 24-7 bear a very strong resemblance to those in the Ugaritic Baal myth, where Mot addresses Baal as follows: ktmhs. Itn. btn. brh. tkly. btn. `qltn ‘Because you smote Leviathan the twisting serpent (and) made an end of the crooked serpent...’ (CTA 5.I.1-2 = KTU 1.5.I.1-2). Again, in CTA 3.IIID.37-9 (= KTU 13.III.40-42), Leviathan the crooked serpent is spoken of as a dragon as in Is. 27:1, l’istbm. tnn. ‘istm[ ]mhst. btn `qltn slyt. d. sb`t. r’asm ‘Surely I lifted up the dragon, I... (and) smote the crooked serpent, the tyrant with the seven heads.’ The close similarity is all the more remarkable both in view of the time-scale involved and because the word ` a qallaton ‘crooked’ which is here paralleled in Ugaritic is found nowhere else in the Old Testament (though the plural of the verb `ql [Hab. 1:4] and the adjective `qalqal [Judg, 5:6, Ps. 125:5] are so attested, and cf. Rahab which appears as nahas bariah ‘twisting serpent’ in Job 26:13). The striking parallelism between the relatively late text in Is. 27:1and the Ugaritic texts almost a millennium earlier is a reminder that the closeness of the language of Old Testament texts to that of the Ugaritic texts is not necessarily an indication of an early date for the Old Testament passages in question. Quite often the parallels are in relatively late texts.

The Ugaritic texts cited above make it clear that Is. 27:1 is describing one monster, not three, as has sometimes been supposed. What is referred to in Is. 27:1 parallels the event referred to in Is. 24:21, ‘On that day the Lord will punish the host of heaven, in heaven, and the kings of the earth, on the earth.’ The reference to ‘the host of heaven’ in this parallel verse has sometimes been thought to indicate that the monster references in Is. 27:1 allude to three constellations, Serpens, Draco and Hydra.2 However, whereas Is. 24:21 refers to the kings of the earth as a whole

143
together with their angelic princes, it is probable that the reference to the defeat of Leviathan in Is. 27:1 alludes to the downfall of one particular hated power of the time, in view of the use of the sea monster imageryto refer to particular hostile nations elsewhere in the Old Testament

و هذا يعني ان النص الاوغاريتي سبق نص اشعياء في تدوينه بالف سنة كما ذكر جون داي فلا مجال للقول بان النص الاوغاريتي قد اخذ من اشعياء !!!

و نقرا من The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament الصفحة 510 :
41:1. Leviathan. Leviathan has often been identified as a crocodile, which were found mostly in Egypt (where it symbolized kingly power and greatness) but also sparsely in Palestine. However, the multiple heads in Psalm 74:14 and the fiery breath here in verses 19-21 make the crocodile identification difficult. Alternatively Leviathan has been depicted as a sea monster (see Ps 74:14; Is 27:1). Support for this is found in Ugaritic texts which contain detailed descriptions of a chaos beast, representing the seas or watery anarchy, in the form of a many-headed, twisting sea serpent who is defeated by Baal. There is a close affinity between the description of Leviathan in Isaiah as a “coiling serpent” and the Ugaritic Baal epic, which speaks of how the storm god “smote Litan the twisting serpent.” In both cases there is a sense of the god of order and fertility vanquishing a chaos monster. Several other passages in the Old Testament mention Leviathan, but most of them, like Psalm 74:14, speak in terms of God’s creative act that establishes control over watery chaos (personified by the sea serpent).

ثانيا : مقارنة نص اشعياء 27 : 1 مع النص الاوغاريتي الخاص ببعل ( بالترجمة الانجليزية ) :
النص الاوغاريتي :
Because you smote Leviathan the twisting serpent (and) made an end of the crooked serpent.

نص اشعياء 27: 1 :
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
التشابه واضح و لا يمكن انكاره

ثالثا : مقارنة تاريخ تدوين كل من النصين .
تاريخ تدوين سفر اشعياء :
ترجع بعض اصحاحات سفر اشعياء الى القرن الثامن قبل الميلاد و البعض الاخر الى القرن السادس قبل الميلاد، و ينتمي الاصحاح 27 الى المجموعة التي ترجع الى القرن السادس قبل الميلاد .
نقرا من الترجمة الرهبانية اليسوعية الصفحة 1513- 1514:
(( غير ان تعدد المؤلفين لا يحول دون التكلم على وحدة الكتاب . شرط ان يبحث عن هذه الوحدة في تواصل يمتد عدة قرون و في استمرار بعض المواضيع . و اوضح دليل على تعدد المؤلفين يظهر في الفصل الاربعين حيث يبدا مؤلف يقال له سفر اشعيا الثاني فبدون اي تمهيد نرى انفسنا منقولين من القرن الثامن الى حقبة الجلاء القرن السادس..... و اخيرا فان مجموعة الفصول 24- 27 المسماة رؤيا اشعيا بعيدة جدا عن عقلية القرن الثامن بعيدة جدا عن عقلية اهل القرن الثامن و تصوراتهم ))

نقرا من الموسوعة البريطانية :
((Knowledge of Baal’s personality and functions derives chiefly from a number of tablets uncovered from 1929 onward at Ugarit (modern Ras Shamra), in northern Syria, and dating to the middle of the 2nd millennium BCE. The tablets, although closely attached to the worship of Baal at his local temple, probably represent Canaanite belief generally. Fertility was envisaged in terms of seven-year cycles. In the mythology of Canaan, Baal, the god of life and fertility, locked in mortal combat with Mot, the god of death and sterility. If Baal triumphed, a seven-year cycle of fertility would ensue; but, if he were vanquished by Mot, seven years of drought and famine would ensue.))

((Excavations of the Grand Palace began in 1948 and have led to the discovery of several different archives, including historical documents, administrative documents and correspondence, documents about the capital, economic texts, and legal documents (IDB, ABD). While the administrative documents are mostly in Ugaritic, international letters and most legal texts are in Akkadian, which apparently was the international language of its time. In religious texts, those that deal with local belief and practice are predominantly in Ugaritic while those that are borrowed from Mesopotamia are in Akkadian. All told, nine different languages are attested in Ugaritic inscriptions, mostly from the period between 1400-1186 (OEANE, “Ugaritic Inscriptions”). The palace, which covers about 3 acres (OEANE), was a multi-story structure made mostly of cut stone but also of uncut stone, wood, and clay (ABD). Other, smaller palaces have also been excavated and have contained smaller archives (ABD). ))

((Other related mythologicalmotifs in Isaiah 24-7
The fact that Is. 27:1 bears such a strikingly close relationship to the Ugaritic Baal epic leads one to ask whether other motifs in Is. 24--7 derive from the same circle of ancient mythic ideas. This is in fact the case, although their full number and significance have not previously been noted.14 One instance is to be found in Is. 24:18b-19,15 where we read
v. 18b For the windows on high are opened,
and the foundations of the earth tremble.
v. 19 The earth is utterly broken,
the earth is rent asunder
the earth is violently shaken.
With this one should compare CTA 4.VII.25ff. (= KTU 1.4.VII.25ff.)
25 yptb. 1?(26)ln. bbhtm. He opened a lattice in the mansion,
‘urbt (27) bqrb. hk[lm.] a window in the midst of the pal[ace),
[yp]th (28) b’l. bdqt [.’rp]t Baal [ope]ned a rift (in) the clouds).
146
29 qlh. qds[.] bH. y]tn Ba[al utt]ered his holy voice,
30 ytny. bl s[’at.s]pth Baal repeated the is[sue] of his lips;
31 qlh. q[ds. t]r. ’ars (he uttered) his h[oly] voice [(and)] the earth did
q[uake],
32 [s’at. spth.] griri (he repeated) [the issue of his lips] (and) the rocks
(did quake)
The striking thing is not merely the parallelism of the god’s theophany and the quaking of the earth in response, but the fact that the Ugaritic text speaks of BaaFs opening a window (‘urbt) in his palace, corresponding to the clouds Just as Is. 24:18b says that the windows on high were opened (’ a rubbot mimmarom niptahu)
.... . However, it is striking that Is. 24:19 makes it clear that the primary emphasis here is on the theophany in the thunder, resulting in the shaking of the earth, rather than in the rain, just as in the Ugaritic passage, and similarly both the Ugaritic and Isaianic passages, unlike Genesis, have an asociation with the theme of the kingship of the deity. It thus seems likely that Is. 24 has combined motifs from the Noah story in Genesis with mythic themes concerning the theophany of the enthroned deity, ultimately deriving from Baal mythology,))

و نقرا من The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament الصفحة 38 :
((7:11. floodgates opened. The text uses the poeticphrase “windows of heaven” to describe the openings through which the rain came down. This is not scientific language but reflects the perspective of the observer, much as we would speak of the sun “setting.” The only other occurrence of such a term in ancient Near Eastern literature is in the Canaanite myth of *Baal building his house, where the “window” of his house is described as a rift in the clouds. But even here it is not associated with rain. Alternate terminology occurs in the Mesopotamian texts, where gates of heaven are in the east and west for the sun to use in itsrising and setting. Clouds and winds, however, also enter by these gates.))

اقول : ان النص في مزمور 15 ماخوذ من الفكرة و المعتقد القديم لدى شعوب الشرق الادنى ان الالهة لها مساكن و خيام في السماء و كل اله له خيمته المستقلة و لذا نجد المزمور 19 يصرح بكل وضوح ان الله جهز للشمس خيمة لتسكن فيها و انها تكون مثل العروس عند الشروق لانها تخرج من خيمتها بكل بهائها (و ان كانت الشمس ليست الهة) .
و نجد هذه الفكرة بكل وصوح في النصوص الاوغاريتية التي تذكر قصة طلب الاله الوثني بعل الذي طلب من الاله الاعلى (ايل) ان يجعل له خيمة في السماء كبقية الالهة .

نقرا ما ذكره ريتشارد كليفورد في Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries, Psalm 1-72 الصفحة 113 :
(( God has made a tent for the sun (v. 4c) which would have been an elaborate tent dwelling befitting a heavenly personage. The gods in the Ugaritic texts had such tent dwellings, and some biblical texts (eg Pss 15:1, 27:5, 61:4) mention the tent of Yahweh. In one Ugaritic myth, the storm god, Baal, complains to the high god El that he has no tent like the other gods, which is an indirect way of asking an increase in status. That Yahweh makes a tent for the sun demonstrates that the sun is thoroughly subordinate figure in the heavenly world, a servant (albeit an important one) of the Lord rather than an independent deity))

((19:6. ancient perceptions of sun’s journey. In many ancient Near Eastern cultures it was assumed that the sun ran a daily course through the heavens. Mesopotamian texts refer to the gates of the heavens where the sun enters and exits. In these texts all of the heavenly bodies have paths or courses that they follow, represented as bands across the sky. Egyptian materials also offer these concepts in both text and iconography. The sun god is portrayed as riding in his barque across the skies between entry and exit spots on either horizon))

((29:1. comparison to Ugaritic hymn. This psalm has more connections to Ugaritic literature than any other psalm. A commonly cited scholarly view goes so far as to claim that this psalm was originally a Phoenician/Canaanite hymn that was modified and adapted into the Hebrew religious corpus. It is claimed that all three of the places named are in Syria (vv. 6-8) and that the psalm features terms, concepts and even grammatical structures that are more familiar from Ugaritic than from the Old Testament. However, though there are sufficient parallels and similarities to identify Canaanite-like elements in the psalm, there is as yet no evidence of a Canaanite original. All of the elements that have been identified as Canaanite in nature also occur in other clearly Israelite settings, so they only show the general similarities that existed between Israelite and Canaanite language and culture. It is possible that the psalmist is using this psalm to attach to Yahweh many of the Baal functions but not to argue against Baal so much as to elevate Yahweh and proclaim his glory. On the other hand, it would present no problem if the psalmist did choose to pattern his composition after a Canaanite original so that praise was transferred from Baal to Yahweh.29:1. mighty ones. In Canaanite mythology the “mighty ones” or “sons of god” were lesser gods who were subordinate to El, the king of the gods. In the Old Testament the phrase . refers to angels who gathered in Yahweh’s heavenly court (see Ps 89:7; 103:20; 1 Kings 22:19; Is 6:2; Job 1:6; 2:1). 29:3. thundering voice. Ancient Near Eastern literature is full of references to storm gods whose voices are heard in thunder. These include Baal in Ugaritic and Amarna texts and Adad in Akkadian texts. It is also common in descriptions of Yahweh (see comment on 7:13).))

(( Modern readers need to be reminded of the narrative implied in this hymn: the combat myth telling of the origin of religiopolotical authority in the universe. According to the myth, there was a threat to the stability of the world, which the gods could not defeat. An outsider god was selected to go out to battle and he defeated the monster, restored order, and was given ultimate authority by the divine assembly. The myth is attested in Mesopotamian and Canaanite literature and in the Bible. This psalm concentrates on only one moment of the story: the acclamation by the heavenly beings of Yahweh's sole divinity........On the basis of his pioneering work on the Ugaritic myths, which were recovered beginning in 1929, the distinguished Semitist H. L. Ginsberg proposed that Ps 29 is an Israelite adaption of a Canaanite hymn to the storm god. The majority of scholars recognize the correctness of his observation, which explains so well the details in this poem. ))




و نقرا من THE UGARITIC BAAL CYCLE: A COMPARISON OF LITERATURE IN THE ANCIENT NEAR EAST الصفحة 8 :
((The two most important gods in the times of the Ancient Near East were gods that had influence on rain and war. Eventually some of these gods would naturally have combined characteristics such as this. Baal in the Baal Cycle has the attributes to be able to bring the rain and smite his foes. There are instances in the Old Testament where it the author uses “Baal language” to describe Yahweh. Exodus 15 is Moses’ song about Yahweh smiting the Egyptians by sweeping them up into the Red Sea. There are several Baal allusions used as Yahweh is described as bring a storm that caused the sea to swallow the Egyptians. Psalm 29:3-4 also has some Baal language in it. It says “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD over many waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.” The authors know full well that Baal is the storm god, and they use take as many opportunities as they can to show that Yahweh is sovereign over the skies so these types of allusions are plentiful in the Old Testament.))

و نقرا ما قاله بولس الفغالي في كتابه مسيرة الكتاب من التكوين إلى الرؤيا (2000) الفصل الثالث سفر المزامير والعالم الكنعانيّ :
((والمزمور الثالث والأخير الذي نشير إليه في هذه العجالة، هو مز 29. إنه مديح يدعو أبناء الله، يدعو الآلهة، كي تنشد عظمة الإله. صار في النص البيبلي "يهوه". "قدّموا للرب (ليهوه) يا أبناء الله، قدّموا للرب مجدًا وعزة". امّا في الاصل، فعلى ابناء الآلهة أن ينشدوا بعل اله العاصفة. "لا شيء يقف في وجه بعل الذي يعمل في البحر والبر. الذي يحطّم الأرز الشامخ على جبل لبنان ويزلزل البرية". وهكذا تبدو قدرته فوق كل قدرة على الأرض.
دخل هذا المزمور الذي هو نشيد للرعد ولبعل إله الرعد في سفر التوراة. فصار "ابناء الآلهة" "قبائل الشعوب". فنقرأ في مز 96: 7: "قدمّوا للرب يا قبائل الشعوب، قدّموا للرب مجدًا وعزّة". وموضع النشيد صار هيكل أورشليم حيث الله حاضر وسط مدينته وشعبه. أما ما يريد الكاتب أن يعلن، فقدرة الله على الجبال العالية والاشجار الباسقة والحيوانات التي لم يستطع الإنسان أن يدجّنها. بل هو يبيّن حماية الله لشعبه. قد تحطّم العاصفة كل شيء في طريقها، ولكنها في الواقع تدور حول أرض فلسطين: تنطلق من البحر فتصل إلى جبل لبنان وتسير شرقي فلسطين، في البرية، ثم جنوبي فلسطين في قادش، وتعود إلى البحر. وهكذا تبقى أرض الرب بأمان، فلا يصيبها الطوفان كما أصاب البشرّية في بداية التاريخ.))

4 اِكْتَنَفَتْنِي حِبَالُ الْمَوْتِ، وَسُيُولُ الْهَلاَكِ أَفْزَعَتْنِي.5 حِبَالُ الْهَاوِيَةِ حَاقَتْ بِي. أَشْرَاكُ الْمَوْتِ انْتَشَبَتْ بِي.
6 فِي ضِيقِي دَعَوْتُ الرَّبَّ، وَإِلَى إِلهِي صَرَخْتُ، فَسَمِعَ مِنْ هَيْكَلِهِ صَوْتِي، وَصُرَاخِي قُدَّامَهُ دَخَلَ أُذُنَيْهِ.
7 فَارْتَجَّتِ الأَرْضُ وَارْتَعَشَتْ، أُسُسُ الْجِبَالِ ارْتَعَدَتْ وَارْتَجَّتْ لأَنَّهُ غَضِبَ.
8 صَعِدَ دُخَانٌ مِنْ أَنْفِهِ، وَنَارٌ مِنْ فَمِهِ أَكَلَتْ. جَمْرٌ اشْتَعَلَتْ مِنْهُ.
9 طَأْطَأَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَنَزَلَ، وَضَبَابٌ تَحْتَ رِجْلَيْهِ.
10 رَكِبَ عَلَى كَرُوبٍ وَطَارَ، وَهَفَّ عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الرِّيَاحِ.
11 جَعَلَ الظُّلْمَةَ سِتْرَهُ. حَوْلَهُ مِظَلَّتَهُ ضَبَابَ الْمِيَاهِ وَظَلاَمَ الْغَمَامِ.
12 مِنَ الشُّعَاعِ قُدَّامَهُ عَبَرَتْ سُحُبُهُ. بَرَدٌ وَجَمْرُ نَارٍ.
13 أَرْعَدَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ، وَالْعَلِيُّ أَعْطَى صَوْتَهُ، بَرَدًا وَجَمْرَ نَارٍ.
14 أَرْسَلَ سِهَامَهُ فَشَتَّتَهُمْ، وَبُرُوقًا كَثِيرَةً فَأَزْعَجَهُمْ،
15 فَظَهَرَتْ أَعْمَاقُ الْمِيَاهِ، وَانْكَشَفَتْ أُسُسُ الْمَسْكُونَةِ مِنْ زَجْرِكَ يَا رَبُّ، مِنْ نَسْمَةِ رِيحِ أَنْفِكَ.
16 أَرْسَلَ مِنَ الْعُلَى فَأَخَذَنِي. نَشَلَنِي مِنْ مِيَاهٍ كَثِيرَةٍ.
17 أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ عَدُوِّي الْقَوِيِّ، وَمِنْ مُبْغِضِيَّ لأَنَّهُمْ أَقْوَى مِنِّي.
18 أَصَابُونِي فِي يَوْمِ بَلِيَّتِي، وَكَانَ الرَّبُّ سَنَدِي.
19 أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى الرُّحْبِ. خَلَّصَنِي لأَنَّهُ سُرَّ بِي.

نقرا ما قاله مارك سميث في كتابه The Early History of God : Yahweh and the Other Deities in Ancient Israel الصفحة 55 - 56:
(( Psalm 18 (2 Sam 22) 14-16 (E 13-15) likewise juxtaposes El and Baal imagery or titles for Yahweh.....
This passage bears two explicit hallmarks of El language within a passage primarily describing a storm theophany of the type predicated of Baalin Ugaritic literature))


و نقرا من The IVP Bible Background Commentary: Old Testament الصفحة 521 :
((18:8 smoke from nostrils, fire from mouth. This imagery is not found elsewhere in the ancient Near East. The closest example is in Enuma Elish, where it is said of Marduk that when his lips moved, fire blazed forth. Though Yahweh could not be portrayed in any form (animal or otherwise), poetic description of Yahweh by means of animal imagery in order to highlight certain attributes was legitimate (lion/leopard in Hos 13:7; flying birds in Is 31:5; bear in Lam 3:10; wild ox in Num 24:8
[all translations but NIV]).
18:9. dark clouds under feet. The term for “dark clouds” has been found in the Ugaritic epic of Baal and Anath, where the god Baal is described as the “rider of the clouds” and his “voice” as the sound and fury of thunder and lightning
18:10. mounted cherubim and flew. In Syro-Palestine iconography deities are often portrayed standing on the backs of wild creatures (usually bulls). An Assyrian relief from Maltaya pictures seven gods, each standing on the back of a different animal. Most intriguing is an Assyrian relief that pictures a storm god replete with weapons, riding the back of a composite creature with a lion’s body, an eagle’s wings and a bull’s head. In the Old Testament Yahweh is described as enthroned on the cherubim in the Holy of Holies in the temple (see comment on 1 Sam 4:3-4), and in Ezekiel’s throne vision (chaps. 1, 10) Yahweh is transported on a mobile chariot-throne borne by composite creatures
18:12-15. weapons of divine warrior. Yahweh’s arrows are usually considered to be bolts of lightning. In the divine warrior motif, the deity fights the battles and defeats the deities of the enemy. In Assyria, Nergal is the King of Battle, and Ishtar is viewed as a war goddess. The latter rains down flames in war. The Canaanite Baal and the Babylonian Marduk are divine warriors. Thunder and lightning were considered to regularly accompany the presence of a deity in the ancient Near East, particularly in a battle setting. From the Sumerian Exaltation of Inanna to the Hittite myths about the Storm God to the Akkadian and Ugaritic mythologies, the gods are viewed as thundering in judgment against their enemies. Baal is depicted as grasping a handful of thunderbolts. Thundering terminology is also picked up in royal rhetoric as Hittite or Assyrian kings portray themselves as the instruments))

و نقرا ما قاله بولس الفغالي في كتابه مسيرة الكتاب من التكوين إلى الرؤيا (2000) الفصل الثالث سفر المزامير والعالم الكنعانيّ:
((3- المزمور الثامن عشر
ونتوقّف الآن بشكل خاص عند بعض المزامير حيث نرى الأثر الكنعاني واضحًا جدًا. الاول مز 18 الذي هو نشيد ملكي يُنسب إلى داود ويُقرأ أيضًا في 1 صم 22. يُقسم هذا المزمور قسمين. في القسم الأول يمتدح المرتّل الله (آ 2-4) ثم يصوّر خطرًا يقود إلى الموت (آ 5-7). وبعد ذلك، يصوّر في لغة قريبة جدًا من الاسلوب الكنعاني، تدخّل الله في شكل تيوفانيا أو ظهور إلهي. وفي القسم الثاني الذي يهمّنا أقل (آ 31 ي) يمتدح المرتّل الربّ الذي نصره.
تتحدث آ 1 عن يد شاول. ولكن بالاحرى عن "يد شيول"، أي يد عالم الموتى، كما في الادب الاكادي، أو الأدب الاوغاريتي حيث نقرأ: "منذ يوم نجيتني من فم الموت". وتبدأ التيوفانيا أو ظهور الله. فنجد نفوسنا في خط الكاهن العرّاف (بارو في عالم بلاد والرافدين) الذي ينصح الملك بالذهاب إلى الحرب أو يعدم الذهاب. هنا نتذكر 1 مل 22 حيث أراد ملك إسرائيل وملك يهوذا أن يستعيدا راموت جلعاد، فالتمسا كلام الرب. فقال لهما "العرّافون": "الله يدفعها إلى يد الملك". ولكن الاله هو الذي يحارب. هو الذي يُلقي الرعب في قلب الاعداء. يظهر بعل في العاصفة وهو يشهر سلاحه (كما رُسم في راس شمرا) فيتبدّد الاعداء.
نقرأ مثل هذا عن الرب الذي أرعد من السماء وأسمع صوته، الذي "أرسل سهامه فشتّتهم، وأكثر البروق فزعجهم. أرسل من العلاء فأخذني، وانتشلني من المياه الغامرة. أنقذني من عدوي الشديد ومن مبغض أقوى مني". "ركب على كروب وطار، وخُطف على أجنحة الرياح" (آ 11). تلك عبارة من رأس شمرا (ر ك ب. ع ر ف ت) نجد مثلها في مز 68: 5 (ر ك ب. ب. ع ر ب و ت). هذه الصورة تقودنا إلى عالم الاشوريين ومنه إلى العالم الارامي والكنعاني حيث يُعتبر الكروب مركبة لله.))

2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge.

اقول : بعد قراءة كل من النصين يتبين ان المزمور يشبه هيكل الرب الموجود في صهيون - جبل اورشليم - بالمكان الذي يقطن فيه الاله صراحة ( و لا مكان للمجاز هنا ) . و هذه الفكرة (وجود الله داخل هيكل اورشليم حيث يوجد التابوت) هي فكرة مقتبسة من الشعوب الوثنية المجاورة حيث كانوا يعتقدن ان الهتهم تقطن اعالي الجبال فنجد مثلا ان النصوص الاوغاريتية تذكر صراحة ان الالهة كانت تسكن الجبال الشمالية و ان كرسي الاله الوثني بعل كان موجودا هناك .

نقرا من كتاب The-Ugaritic-Baal-Cycle-Volume-II تاليف Mark S. Smith & Wayne Pitard الصفحة 62 و 63 :
((Baal’s mountain is the site of “victory” (tl’iyt), according to CAT 1.3 III 31 and 1.10 III 3. Similarly, Yahweh’s power is manifest terrestrially in the tradition of Jerusalem’s strength (Psalm 46). Its titles include terms of power and security, “refuge and stronghold” (maăseh wā‘ōz; Ps 46:2) and “haven” (miśgāb; Pss 46:8, 48:4). Great size is also an element of this discourse of strength (discussed below). Given the widespread nature of the discourse of power in West Semitic texts, power may be regarded as one of the dominant shared predications made between deities and their temples or mountains. Just as the deity guarantees the security of their temple/palace, the latter remains the terrestrial manifestation of the deity’s power. A further expression of participation and identification between god and temple involves holiness Smith (2001a:93–97) has discussed this element at length, so we will merely summarize here. Both gods and temples/mountains are referred to as “holy” in the Ugaritic texts. A common epithet of the gods is bn qdš, “sons of holiness,” or possibly, “sons of the Holy One” (CAT 1.2 I 20–21, 38; 1.17 I 3, 8, 10–11, 13, 22; cf. the Phoenician inscription KAI 4:4–5 referring to the deities in general as the “holy ones,” qdšm; cf. UBC 1. 294–95; Merlo 1997:50). Baal’s voice is called holy in the account of his great storm theophany in 1.4 VII 29. At the same time the mountain where Baal lives, Mount Sapan, is called qdš, “holy.” In the Aqhat Epic, the word is used specifi - cally as a synonym for “temple” (1.17 I 26 and parallels). The use of this term for deity, temple and sacred mountain is also found in the Hebrew Bible. Thus the temple mount in Jerusalem is called “his holy mountain” (har qodšô; Ps 48:2) and “the holy dwelling-place of the Most High” (qĕdôš miškĕnê ‘elyôn; Ps 46:5). Israelite texts also mention the Holy Ones collectively as a divine body or assembly led by Yahweh, their king (Ps 89:6b–7a). It is the god’s presence, of course, that imparts holiness to the location, and thus the temple gains its status through its participation with the god))

48:1. holy mountain. The book of Psalms repeatedly refers to Mount Zion as Yahweh’s “holy hill” or holy mountain (Ps 2:6; 3:4; 15:1; 43:3; 99:9). However, it should be understood that this place ascribes its importance and sanctity entirely from God’s presence there. Other sacred mountains are associated with the gods: Baal with Mount Zaphon, and Marduk and others with the artificial mountains, the ziggurat temples of Mesopotamia. 48:2. heights of Zaphon. This refers to Mount Casius (Jebel el-Aqra, elev. 5807 feet), twentyfive or thirty miles northeast of Ugarit, the mountain associated with the dwelling place of Baal (see the comment on Is 14:13). In Ugaritic literature Mount Zaphon is considered to be the mountain of the gods where the divine assembly meets. In the announcements of Baal’s messengers Mount Zaphon is praised as beautiful and a hill of victory. In the context of this psalm it may be serving either as a direction, north, or as a reference to the temple at Dan, technically on Mount Hermon at the northern boundary of Israel. However, it is also possible that in this psalm Yahweh is seen as a universal God who will replace all other gods in their sacred locales, with Zion becoming what Zaphon had once been considered, the seat of God.))

و نقرا من PSALMS: THE HYMNAL OF ISRAEL, BOOK II (PSALMS 42-72)
(( The problem with Psalm 48 is verse 2, "Mount Zion in the far north." These are only theories.
1. It is metaphorical for heaven where YHWH dwells — Isa.14:13a,b; Rev. 3:12; 21:2,10
2. It, like other Psalms, incorporates some Canaanite mythological terminology (i.e., Zaphon = Hebrew "north," BDB 8) — Isa. 14:13c,d; Ezek. 28:14
It was common in Ancient Near Eastern religious thought to view the gods as living on mountain tops (cf. Gilgamesh Epic). This is especially true for the Ugaritic Ba'al myth poems from Ras Shamra. The gods met and lived on a northern mountain called Saphon or Zaphon. Ba'al had a throne there built by Anath. The male god of Phoenician fertility worship was called Baal Saphon. This name has been found in Phoenician colonies around the Mediterranean. This northern mountain tradition, totally unrelated to Israel's holy Mt. Moriah (cf. Ps. 20:40), seems to be the source of the imagery of both Isa. 14:13-15 and Ezek. 28:14,16. See Roland de Vaux, Ancient Israel, vol. 2, pp. 279-281.))

(( The Ugaritic texts provide further light on the character of Psalm 104, especially in its opening verses. The language of the biblical poet in these verses bears a number of striking resemblances to the language employed in one of the stories concerning Baal. The Hebrew Psalmist describes the Lord as " the one who makes the clouds his chariots" (verse 3); Baal is described as "the rider of clouds". In the Psalm fire and flame are personifications of the minister of the Lord (verse 4); in the Baal text "fire and flame" are employed in the preparation of silver and gold for the building of Baal's palace. The voice of the Lord (verse 7) and the voice of Baal are both likened to thunder))

((104:3. cosmos as temple. The psalmist’s attemptto express God’s complete control overall creation includes a multistoried or manychamberedsanctuary or palace in the heavens(cf. Ps 78:69; Is 66:1). In the biblical and ancientNear Eastern view the cosmos was atemple and the temple was a microcosmos.The cosmos can therefore be described in architecturalterms as a temple would be.104:3. riding the clouds. The image of a rampantGod storming through the heavens in acloud chariot is a common one (Ps 68:4; Jer4:13). Such descriptions of storm theophanymay be found in the texts that speak of theUgaritic god Baal. In both the Aqhat epic andin the Baal and Anat cycle of stories, Baal isreferred to as the “rider of the clouds.” Baal’sattributes, commanding the storms, unleashingthe lightning and rushing to war as a divinewarrior, even appear in the Egyptian ElAmarna texts. The characteristics of Yahwehas Creator, giver of fertility and divine warriorshare a great deal in common with theseearlier epics. One of the ways that Yahwehpresents himself to the Israelites as the soledivine power is by assuming the titles andpowers of the other ancient Near Easterngods.104:4. winds, flames as messengers. In bothEnuma Elish and the Tale of Anzu the windscarry the news of the victory by the hero deityover the chaos monster. In the former, thenorth wind carries the blood of Tiamat as tidingsof her demise; in the latter, the feathers ofthe defeated Anzu are carried on the wind toEnlil. Flames of fire can refer to the destructivenessof God’s wrath (as can winds for that matter
104:6-9. watery chaos. This does not refer tothe flood but to the initial creation narrativewhere the dry land emerged as all of the waterswere assigned their places. The defeat ofthe forces of chaos, personified in the primordialsea, was one of the most common elementsof ancient Near Eastern cosmology(Baal defeating Yamm in Ugaritic texts; Mardukdefeating Tiamat in Enuma Elish).
104:9. boundary for waters. Marduk, afterhaving defeated Tiamat, created the seas andplaced guards to keep back the waters. TheBabylonian Atrahasis Epic refers to a bolt of thesea in the possession of the god Ea (Enki).Other texts speak of locks of the sea. One ofthe main tasks of the head of the pantheonwas to keep the sea in check so that chaoswould be restrained and order would prevail.One of the earliest reflections of this motif isfound in the Myth of Ninurta and Azag, whereNinurta builds a stone wall to contain the waters....104:26.

((74:14. Leviathan. Leviathan has often beenidentified as a crocodile, which were foundmostly in Egypt (where it symbolized kinglypower and greatness), but also sparsely in Palestine.However, the multiple heads here andthe fiery breath in Job 41:19-21 make the crocodileidentification difficult. Alternatively,Leviathan has been depicted as a sea monster(see Is 27:1). Support for this is found in Ugaritictexts, which contain detailed descriptionsof a chaos beast, representing the seas or wateryanarchy, in the form of a many-headed,twisting sea serpent who is defeated by Baal.There is a close affinity between the descriptionof Leviathan in Isaiah as a “coiling serpent”and the Ugaritic Baal epic, whichspeaks of how the storm god “smote Litan thetwisting serpent,” which is described as havingseven heads. In both cases there is a senseof the god of order and fertility vanquishing achaos monster. In Akkadian literature there is a creature named bashmu that is described ashaving six tongues and seven mouths. In onetext bashmu is named alongside other fabulouscreatures including one with two heads andone with seven heads. The latter is also picturedon a cylinder seal. This seal shows fourof the heads hanging limp while the battlecontinues with the remaining three. Severalother passages in the Old Testament mentionLeviathan, but most of them speak in terms ofGod’s creative act that establishes control overwatery chaos (personified by the sea serpent).In Isaiah 27:1, however, that struggle betweenorder and chaos occurs at the end of time. Itmay be that the fall of Satan, portrayed as aseven-headed dragon in Revelation 12:3-9,also echoes the Ugaritic image of Litan as “thetyrant with seven heads.” Biblically, Leviathanwould therefore most easily fit into thecategory of “supernatural” creature (like cherubim)as opposed to natural or purely mythological.As such it may appear in extrabiblicalmythology, as well as being symbolized bysomething like a crocodile (as in Ezek 29:3,though Leviathan is not specifically referredto in that context).))
