Yahweh and Baal together at last on a curse scroll

Quote:The researchers have identified several demons associated with the territory of what is today Syria, including Baal, Yahweh, Thobarabau, Seneseilam, and Sesengenfaranges. Invoking the powers of both Baal and Yahweh on a single tablet is unprecedented.

Most probably derived from the Egyptian execration texts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_tablet

Quote:A curse tablet or binding spell (Latin: tabella defixionis, defixio; Greek: κατάδεσμος katadesmos) is a type of curse found throughout the Greco-Roman world, in which someone would ask the gods, place spirits, or the deceased to perform an action on a person or object, or otherwise compel the subject of the curse.

Nice having the names of some of those other Gods we are Commanded to not have before God God.  And I also note, not only has 'God God' confirmed their existence, having their names now is a real nice touch. Now if we could just get a tablet that associates Zeus/Jupiter into this august fraternity.

I'd think some after public school prayer clubs should be established to the furtherance of all these deities worship.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
