Subject: "queen of heaven"? |
Bible Note: Greetings Nolan! In addition, Ishtar in my commentary states that she was a Mesopotamian goddess of love and war. After the fall of Jerusalemm the refugees from Judah who fled to Egypt continued to worship her (chap. 44). A papyrus dating from the 5th century BC found at Hermopolis in Egypt, mentions the queen of heaven among the gods honored by the Jewish community living there. prayon |
