Default El and Asherah

bonjour tous. Canaan est le nom de la Palestine de
1800 à 1200 avant que J.C. la majorité des temples de ces personnes
ait été fait d'une salle simple et plus rarement il a comporté une
cour. Il semblerait que dans ce cas-ci les fidèles ont été
tenus dans cette cour tandis que le prêtre a officié dans le temple.
On venerated les dieux dans un but d'écarter la sécheresse, la
stérilité et les famines de la terre de Canaan. Les principaux
festivals religieux étaient ceux des champs et du vin. Les
sacrifices des animaux, principalement des oiseaux ou des animaux
domestiques comme des agneaux ou des gosses ont eu lieu à l'heure de
ces festivals, d'une naissance mais également à l'heure de
l'accomplissement de la construction d'une nouvelle maison. Les
statues des dieux étaient hors de pierre ou de métal et ont été
couvertes de l'or, de vêtements de valeur inestimable et de bijoux.
Ces statues ont appartenu aux temples mais de petites figurines
hors du cotta de terra représentant la mère de déesse ont été
employés comme porte bonheur. règle [

] d'EL. Comme dans toutes les religions du vieil est étroit,
les dieux incarnaient les forces de la nature. À leur tête le
EL était le père des autres dieux et Asherah était son épouse.
Leur fille d'Anat était la déesse de la guerre mais également
de l'amour. Elle était l'amante de son frère Baal, le dieu du
temps qui a été plus connu des cananéens de dieux. Beaucoup
d'autres divinités forment ainsi le Panthéon Shapash le soleil ou le
Yarikh d'un dieu le dieu la lune. Car souvent chaque ville a eu
sa divinité, Tyr a par exemple honoré Melgart. Il y avait
également quantité de démons et de spiritueux qui ont dû être
réconciliés ou contre ce qui il était nécessaire d'être
protégé. Tous ces dieux, petit et grand étaient plutôt
capricieux et ont eu le mauvais caractère. Cananéens avait
appris de Babyloniens que la technique de la divination également de
beaucoup de prêtres a pris les présages et a prévu le futur.

Here's my shoddy attempt (neither of the images seem to work):
==============================================
Good day to all. Canaan was the name of Palestine from 1800 to 1200 BCE. The majority of the the temples of these people consisted of a single room and more rarely, it included a courtyard. It seemed that in these cases the faithful were taken in this courtyourd while the priests officiated in the temple. One worshipped the gods to separate the dryness, the sterility and the famines from the land of Canaan. The principal religious festivales were those of fields and wine. Animals such as birds or domesticated animals such as lambs or kids were sacrificed for festivals, to celebate a birth or the completion of a new house. Idols were made of stone or metal and were covered in gold, valuable clothes and jewels. They belonged to the temples but small terracotta figurines represented the mother goddess which was used to bring good luck.

Like in all religions of old, the gods personified the forces of nature. At their head EL was the father of the other gods and Asherah was his wife (consort?). Their daughter Anat was the godess of war but also of love. She was the lover of her brother Baal, the god of the weather who was also the most well-known of Canaanite deities. Many other gods made up the pantheon--Shapash the sun or Yarikh the god of the moon. Accordingly each town had its own God, Tyr for example blessed Melgart. There were also numbers of demons and spirits who had to be reconciled or against those which it was necessary to protect. All these gods, small or big were always capricious and were evil. Cananites had learned from Babylonians the technique of divination from many priests who had taken the omens and foreseen the future.

Peace.

Heres a machine translation, tidied up a little with my high school French:

Hello all. Canaan is the name of the Palestine of 1800 to 1200 before J.C. the majority of their temples were a simple room and rarely included a courtyard. It would seem that in these cases the faithful ones were held in this courtyard while the priest officiated in the temple.

One venerated the gods in a goal to alleviate the drought, the stérilité and the famines of the earth of Canaan. The principal religious festivals were those of the fields and wine. The sacrifices of animals, principally birds or domesticated animals as lambs or (gosses) tood place during these festivals, for a birth but equally at the time of the construction of a new house. The statues of the gods were outside rock or of metal and were covered with gold, clothing and inestimable valuable jewels. These statues belonged to the temples but small figurines of terra cotta representing the mother of goddess were used to bring happiness.

rule of el. As in all the religions of the old near east, the gods embodied the forces of the nature. At their head EL was the father of the other gods and Asherah was his spouse. Their daughter Anat was the goddess of the war but equally love. She was the lover of her brother Baal, the god of the time that was the best known Canaanites of gods. A lot of other divinities form thus the Panthéon: Shapash the sun or the Yarikh of a god the god the moon. Often every city had its own divinity, Tyr, for example worshipped Melgart. There was an equal quantity of demons and spirits that needed to be reconciled or against which that it was necessary to be protected. All these gods, small and big were rather capricious and had the bad character.

Canaanites had learned from Babylonians that the techniques of the divination equally by far of priests took presage them and foresaw the future.

Well it seems the machine did a better job than myself. Sigh. Back to the drawing board...

"Tyr for example blessed Melgart" should be, "[the city of] Tyre for example, worshipped Melgart"

"One worshipped the gods to separate the dryness, the sterility and the famines from the land of Canaan." should be, "One worshipped the gods to alleviate the dryness, the sterility and the famines from the land of Canaan."

...as Toto's translation points out.

It would seem that in this case the faithful ones were held in this court whereas the priest officiated in the temple. One venerated the gods with an aim of moving away the dryness, the sterility and the famines of the ground of Canaan. The principal religious festivals were those of the fields and the wine. Sacrifices of animals, mainly of the birds or domestic animals like lambs or kids took place at the time of these festivals, of a birth but also at the time of the completion of the construction of a new house. The statues of the gods were out of stone or metal and were covered with gold, invaluable clothes and jewels. These statues belonged to the temples but of small terra cotta figurines representing the goddess mother were used as carries happiness.

As in all the religions of the close old East, the gods incarnaient the forces of nature. At their head El was the father of the other gods and Asherah was his wife. Their Anat daughter was the goddess of the war but also of the love. She was the amante of her brother Baal, the god of the time which was most known of the gods cananéens. Many other divinities form the Pantheon Shapash thus the god sun or Yarikh the god the moon. As often each city had its divinity, Tyr for example honoured Melgart. There was also quantity of demons and spirits which had to be reconciled or against which it was necessary to be protected. All these gods, small and large were rather capricious and had bad character.
Cananéens had learned from Babyloniens the technique of the divination also of many priests took the omens and predicted the future.

Wala namang gamitan ng mga wikang di maiintindihan ng iba, o kaya isalin lang yung sinabi nyo sa ingles. Mahirap sumund sa usapan kung merong di gumagamit ng ingles. Salamat.

(Let's not use languages that others can't understand, or at least translate it to english. It's hard to follow discussions if others use languages other than english. Thanks.)
