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.

Isaiah 66:1

66:1 This is what the Lord says:

“The heavens are my throne

and the earth is my footstool.

Where then is the house you will build for me?

Where is the place where I will rest?


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.
