Canaanite gods

I am looking for some sort of list that gives a fairly accurate listing of the many Canaanite gods….

I am still working on my 'Honey do list' but I will check in occasionally. If the list is not too long can you post it with a resources/book/weblink, or just copy/paste the listing.

Thanks.

Hi R4M

Do you have http://www.logos.com/product/7789/dictionary-of-the-old-testament-historical-books?

This has a section on the "Canaanite Gods and Religion".

I don't know how comprehensive it is. It's quite a long section so not really practical to paste.

Graham, not in L4, I have it in another program.. I did look there and it only gave a small list.

If you have the Lex. Bible Dict.:

"...People throughout Canaan worshiped many deities, as indicated by theophoric names, toponyms, biblical texts, and inscriptions; over 150 Canaanite gods can be found in the Ugaritic texts (Pardee, Ritual and Cult at Ugarit). The structure of the Canaanite pantheon can be compared to a divine family or governmental hierarchy, and the concept of the assembly of gods seen throughout the ancient Near East can be clearly seen in the Ugaritic myths. The following are the most prominent Canaanite deities...." [C/Canaanite Religion/Early Canaanite Religion (Second Millennium BC)]
