[ the com]panies of gods, threefold.
At once Kirta the Noble . . [ ] . .
in his house sets. Going in
he puts [in] it, and going out he puts.
[The]n came the companies of the gods.
[Then] spoke Valiant Baal:
"[So] come, O Kindly One
[El Be]nignant! May you bless
[Kirta] the Noble, may you beatify Naaman,
[the Lad of] El."—A cup [El] takes
[in] (his) hand, a flagon in (his)
[right hand]. Indeed he blesses
[his servant]. El blesses Kirta,
[beatifie]s Naam[an] the Lad of El:
"The wo[man that you ta]ke, O Kirta, the woman
that you take into your house, the maid you bring
into your court, shall bear seven sons to you,
yes, eight shall she produce
for you. She will bear Yassib the heir:
he will drink the milk of Athirat;
he will drain the breast of Virgin Rahmay;
the suckling of goddesses.
