As the mother and daughter bowed to kiss the robe of the princess, Bent- Anat signed them back from her. "Keep farther from me," she said; "the priests have not yet entirely absolved me from my uncleanness."
Rimmon or Hadad, the god of the air, whom the Syrians identified with the Sun-god, Nebo, the god of prophecy, the interpreter of the will of Bel-Merodach, Anu, the god of the sky, and Anat, his consort, all alike meet us in the names sometimes of places, sometimes of persons. Mr. Tomkins is probably right in seeing even in Beth-lehem the name of the primeval Chaldæan deity Lakhmu.
A consort is given to the god by adding a feminine termination to his name, thus Bel receives Belit, Anu has Anat. Finally Babylonian religion is more and more directed to the heavenly bodies. It is Astral religion carried to its furthest point. This fixed the arrangement of its temples, the occupations of its priests. We rapidly pass in review the principal Gods.
"Art thou at an end of thy communications?" he asked the high-priest. "It remains for me to inform you all," replied Ameni with a louder voice, to be heard by all the assembled dignitaries, "that the princess Bent- Anat yesterday morning committed a heavy sin, and that in all the temples in the land the Gods shall be entreated with offerings to take her uncleanness from her."
But only for a few seconds-Bent- Anat herself took Uarda into her care, and he hastened back to the burning house. He had recognized his daughter's preserver; it was the physician Nebsecht, who had not quitted the princess since their meeting on Sinai, and had found a place among her suite as her personal physician.
Bent-Anat made a sign of assent and went on: "It is quite clear to me. I can do nothing else." "Then thou dost not need my counsel, since even thy father, I well know, will not be able to alter thy decision." "Not God even," said Anat firmly. "But you are Ani's friend, and as I esteem him, I would save him from this humiliation. Endeavor to persuade him to give up his suit.
There was a tombstone of a bishop with the date of 1571; and a crest of a hand and dagger, dated 1497. I must take this opportunity of acknowledging the great kindness with which this illustrious naturalist has examined many of my specimens. So named according to Patrick Symes's nomenclature. See Encyclop. of Anat. and Physiol., article Cephalopoda Mr.
I offered her to work in the palace for you with the other girls, for good wages, but she would not; for she has to wait on her sick grandmother, and she is proud, and will not serve any one." "It seems you were a long time with the paraschites' people," said Bent- Anat reprovingly. "I should have thought that what has happened to me might have served you as a warning."
I will watch for you here at the door of the tent. I am poor, alas! and cannot reward you, but the princess will thank your father as a princess should. Be watchful, Salich!" The girl vanished, and went to the drivers of the gang of prisoners, wished them a merry and pleasant evening, and then hastened back to Bent- Anat, who anxiously stroked her abundant hair, and asked her why she was so pale.
The old man cried out at the blow, and at the cry the paraschites stricken down with stones his own struggle with the mob and the appearance of Bent Anat flashed into Pentaur's lnernory.
