Isaiah 14:13

14:13 You said to yourself,

“I will climb up to the sky.

Above the stars of El

I will set up my throne.

I will rule on the mountain of assembly

on the remote slopes of Zaphon.


tn Heb “you, you said in your heart.”

sn In Canaanite mythology the stars of El were astral deities under the authority of the high god El.

sn Zaphon, the Canaanite version of Olympus, was the “mountain of assembly” where the gods met.
