Delitzsch, Babylonische Weltschöpfungsepos, p. 99, questions the identity with Ea, but his skepticism is unwarranted, though the title is also used of Bel. Here used to comprise the army of Tiâmat. I.e., thy power is equal to that of Anu. Exod. iv. 2-8; other parallels might be adduced. I.e., far off. I.e., that a wind might not carry her off.
First published by Pinches, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1891, pp. 393-408. Clay, it will be recalled, was the building material in Babylonia. The word in the text is generally applied to "a mass" of animals, but also to human productions. See Delitzsch, Assyr. Handwörterbuch, p. 467. Bel's temple at Nippur. Temple of Ishtar at Erech or Uruk. I.e., Apsu.
Joseph Halévy of Paris, and now supported by the most eminent of German Assyriologists, Prof. Friedrich Delitzsch, which claims that the cuneiform writing is Semitic in origin, needs to be most carefully considered.
We find that the Persian Gulf once extended more than one hundred miles farther inland than it does now. That there was no joint outflow of Tigris and Euphrates, but, though they did join their streams above, they parted again and had still separate mouths of the Tigris branch one, of the Euphrates several. Lastly, Professor Delitzsch finds two channels which answer to Pison and Gihon.
'A brawler, or, as Delitzsch renders it, 'boisterous' look into a liquor-store if you want to verify that, or listen to a drunken party coming back from an excursion and making night hideous with their bellowings, or go to any police court on a Monday morning.
Harper in Delitzsch and Haupt's Beiträge zur Assyriologie, ii. 391-408. Ib. pp. 405 seq. Lit., 'the Inquirers, a designation of the priests in their capacity of oracle-seekers. The matter is not certain because of the sad condition of the fragments. K. 2606, Harper, ib. pp. 399, 400. Only a part of the name, I-si, is preserved. See pp. 108, 163. I.e., an army's march of two hours.
On the whole we prefer to disregard Delitzsch in this matter, and to stand by our pleasant picture of the two first brothers at dinner. Their admirable arrangement, however, brought mischief in the end. It was right enough so far as they were concerned, but it worked badly in relation to God. They liked a mixed diet, but the Lord was purely carnivorous and liked all meat.
Of his poems Delitzsch says that they are "in the truest sense Hebrew in expression, Biblical in imagery and subject-matter, medieval in rhyme and rhythm, and in general genuinely Jewish in manner of treatment," laudation which this exacting critic bestowed on no other Hebrew poet of his time.
The epic closes grandiloquently: With fifty names, the great gods According to their fifty names, proclaimed the supremacy of his course. The compiler has added to the epic what Delitzsch appropriately designates an 'epilogue, a declaration of affection for Marduk. The epilogue consists of three stanzas.
Delitzsch is very interesting; but Baudissin's 'Studien zur Semitischen Religionsgeschichte' would come closer to what you need. There are several other important Germans Schrader, Bunsen, Duncker, Hommel, and so on." "Unluckily I I don't read German readily," Theron explained with diffidence.
