Rassam, Cylinder viii. 98, 99. 'Belit of Babylonia, honored among the great gods. Annals, iii. 135. The name of the temple. See IIR. 66, ll. 1 and 10. The title 'belit matâti, 'lady of the lands' is evidently introduced in imitation of 'bel matâti, 'lord of lands, belonging to Bel and then to Marduk. VR. pl. 33. Delitzsch, Die Kossaer, pp. 25, 27.
Jeremias translates 'seeks a friend, and refers the words to Gilgamesh, but there is nothing in the narrative to justify us in assuming that Eabani was thinking of the hero. It is used as a synonym of tappu 'associate, Delitzsch, Handwörterbuch, p. 10. Ideographically, it is composed of two elements, 'strength' and 'acquire. 'Companion in arms' is the fellowship originally meant.
See Delitzsch, Assyr. Wörterbuch, p. 341. So far as the domestic animals are concerned, it is true that they throw off their young in the spring. See Westermarck, The History of Human Marriage, pp. 27 seq. Allatu. I.e., of the dead person. Ishtar. See p. 475. Vorstellungen, pp. 6-8. Some instrument is mentioned. IVR. 30, no. 3, obverse 23-35.
At first there was a little of Delitzsch and his Babel-Bible addresses, brought up by Selmour, an amiable Presbyterian of shining bare pate and cheerful red beard, a man whom scandal had filliped ever so coyly with a repute of leanings toward Universalism.
The suggestion is worthy of consideration whether the name 'seven directions of heaven and earth' may not also point to a conception of seven zones dividing the heavens as well as the earth. One is reminded of the 'seven' heavens of Arabic theology. Lit., 'house to be seen, Igi-e-nir. See, e.g., VR. 29, no. 4, 40, and Delitzsch, Assyr. Handwörterbuch, p. 262.
Jensen and Zimmern render "reed." Delitzsch, I think, comes nearer the real meaning with "marsh." See Haupt's translation, Proc. Amer. Oriental Soc., 1896, p. 161. Delitzsch supplies a parallel phrase like "periods elapsed." Supplied from Damascius' extract of the work of Berosus on Babylonia. See Cory, Ancient Fragments, p. 92; Delitzsch, Babylonische Weltschöpfungsepos, p. 94.
The fearlessness with which he recently summoned Professor Delitzsch to unfold to him and to his family and court the newly revealed relations of Assyrian research to biblical study, which gave such alarm in highly orthodox circles, and his fairness in estimating these researches, certainly revealed breadth of mind as well as trust in what he considered the fundamental verities of religion.
This "conglomeration of contrasts," whom Delitzsch regards as the restorer of Hebrew poetry to its primitive beauty and purity, was the embodiment of the period in which he lived.
City sacred to Ea at the mouth of the Persian Gulf. Lit., 'totality of lands. Cf. S. A. Smith, Miscellaneous, K. 2866, l. 8, "the great gods dwelling in the heaven of Anu." The reference, therefore, cannot be to "the gathering place of the gods," where the fates of mankind are decided. The original has ratum. Delitzsch, Assyr. Handwörterbuch, p. 663, compares Hebrew rahat, "trough."
Delitzsch, whose criticisms are huge jokes, frowns on this picture of fraternal peace. He opines that Cain and Abel were vegetarians and never enjoyed a beef-steak or a mutton-chop. Abel kept only small domestic cattle, such as sheep and goats, whose woolly skin might be used to cover "their sinful nakedness."
