And in there, it shed a lot of light on the Old Testament, because as I mentioned earlier, there's a lot of words that only appear once in the Hebrew Old Testament, but we now have cognate words in Ugaritic that help us understand some of these things.
But one of the texts there is a ritual text for when the king died.
And when the king of Ugarit died, they did this funerary ritual where they offered sacrifices and did what is essentially magic, ritual magic, to try to ward off the Rephaim, who were the spirits of these dead ancient kings, so that the king who had just died could pass by them safely to get into the underworld.
And so that then showed us, oh, okay, well, so that's what Isaiah is talking about.
That's what the Psalms are talking about, the spirits of these dead kings.
And so Og being the last one, right, who's alive at the time of the Exodus, he's one of these giants.
Deuteronomy describes his bed, right?
It randomly says, you know, talks about Og, talks about Og being slain by the Israelites.
Him being slain is talked about in Numbers and Deuteronomy and in two different Psalms.
They sing about how great it is that Og, king of Bashan, was slain by God through the Israelites.
And they say, Og's bed, he had this iron bed, and it gives the dimensions.
And you're sort of like, well, that's a random fun fact.
You know, Og slept here.
Yeah.
And the dimensions are huge.
You're like, okay, he's a giant, right?
But we found a ritual bed of the same measurements in the great ziggurat of Edom and Anki in Babylon.
Iraq.
Yeah, in the city of Babylon.
And that ritual bed was used in these sexual rituals to produce the next king.
