In the month of Ibaalat, on the seventh day,

When the sun sets, the king is free. On the seven-

On the fourth day, birds; on the fifth day, birds
and a liver, and a ram as a burnt offering for Baal
of Ugarit, in the house. On the seventh day […]
[…]. When the sun sets,
the king is free. Here is the oil of well-being
of Baal, […]
When the mighty one attacks your gate,
the warrior, your walls, you shall lift up your eyes to Baal.
O Baal: If you drive the mighty one from our gate,
the warrior from our walls: A bull, O Baal, we will consecrate;
a vow, Baal, we will fulfill;
a firstborn, Baal, we will consecrate;
a flesh sacrifice, Baal, we will fulfill. A feast, Baal, we will prepare;
the sanctuary, Baal, we will ascend; the path of Baal’s temple, we will walk.
Then Baal will listen to your prayer.
He will drive the mighty one from your gate,
the warrior from your walls.
