| 1372 | ENT_CAN_MOT | received_as | ENT_ISR_SHEOL | medium | [CONFIDENCE v2.1.60 high->medium: Sheol shares the devouring-underworld imagery with Ugaritic Mot, but direct derivation is a scholarly inference (DDD s.v. Mot; Day 1985), not an attested transmission.] Mot (Death, Ugaritic) as devouring underworld power whose "throat is a pit, gullet a grave" (KTU 1.5 II 2–4) parallels Hebrew Sheol personified as appetite: "Sheol enlarges its throat and opens its mouth without limit" (Isaiah 5:14; cf. Habakkuk 2:5; Proverbs 1:12). Both are dark underworld powers described through the metaphor of an insatiable devouring mouth. DDD_BIBLE s.v. "Mot" identifies the imagery as continuous. | SRC_UGARIT_DDD | needs_review | PER_ISR_EXILIC |
