The offering(s) of the daily sacrifice: one ox; and at the [time of ploughing], one sheep; and at the time of harvest, one sheep. And may Baʿal the Victorious Horn bless Azatiwada with life and peace and mighty strength over every king, So that Baʿal the Victorious Horn and all the gods of the city may give to Azatiwada length of days and multitude of years and pleasant old age and mighty strength over every king. And may this city possess fullness and wine, and may this people who dwell in it become owners of oxen and owners of sheep and owners of fullness and wine. And may they bear children in abundance, and may they grow mighty in abundance, and may they serve Azatiwada in abundance and the house of Mopsos, by the grace of Baʿal and the gods. But if any king of kings, or prince of princes, or any man who is a man of renown, should erase the name of Azatiwada from this gate and put (his own) name (on it), or even should he covet this city and tear out this gate which Azatiwada made, and make for it a different gate and put his name upon it whether he tears it out with covetousness or with hatred and evil he tears out this gate—then may Baʿal-Shamem and El Creator-of-Earth and the eternal Sun and the entire assembly of the sons of the gods blot out that kingdom and that king and that man!
And Chemosh said to me, ‘Go! Seize Nebo from Israel!’ And I went in the night and I fought against it from sunrise until noon, and seizing it, then I destroyed it, 7,000 men and boys, women and girls, and female booty, because I had declared a Holy War for Ashtar-Chemosh. And I took away from there rams of Yahweh and I dragged them before Chemosh. But the King of Israel had built Jahaz and he stayed there while fighting me. Yet Chemosh drove him out from before me. I took from Moab 200 men, all the best, and I besieged Jahaz and I seized it to add it on to Dibon.
