They pour oil [ ]
. . . [ ] . . . . earth and sky,
turned to the . . . . . . . of the earth,
to the . . . . . . . . . . of the ploughland.
To the earth Baal rained,
and to the field rained 'Aliyy.
Sweet to the earth was the r[ai]n of Baa[l],
and to the field the rain of 'Aliyy.
It was sweet to the wheat in the ploughland,
in the tilth (to) the emmer.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The ploughmen raise (their) head(s),
upward the growers of grain. Spent is
the bread grain [from] their jars, spent
the wine from their bottles, spent
the oil from [their] j[ugs].
