2305 Kemosh ENT_MOA_KEMOSH patron_of Storm ENT_STORM medium Kemosh's warrior function and Hellenistic equation with Ares suggest a storm/war deity typology; not directly described as a storm deity in surviving Moabite sources but inferred from the divine anger / lightning metaphor pattern in the Mesha Stele.

2306 Kemosh ENT_MOA_KEMOSH patron_of War ENT_WAR high Mesha Stele: Kemosh commands military campaigns ("Go, take Nebo"), receives the ḥērem spoils of battle, and is credited with both Moab's defeat (divine anger) and its victory (divine favour). The closest ancient parallel to a divine war commander in a national-deity context. The Mesha Stele (Moabite Stone), c. 840 BCE; ed. John A.

2310 Kemosh ENT_MOA_KEMOSH aligned_with Milkom ENT_AMM_MILKOM high Kemosh and Milkom share the same structural role as national "divine patron" deities in adjacent Iron Age kingdoms — both are credited with granting territory, demanding exclusive loyalty, and going into exile at national defeat. Judges 11:24 explicitly treats them as parallel: Jephthah argues "Whatever Kemosh your god gives you to possess... that we will possess." Cross (1973) p. 228.

2313 Kemosh ENT_MOA_KEMOSH opposed_by Yahweh ENT_ISR_YAHWEH high The Hebrew Bible consistently frames Kemosh as the principal divine opponent of Yahweh in the Transjordanian context. Judges 11:24 (Jephthah) presents the theological schema explicitly. Jeremiah 48 announces Kemosh's defeat and exile as Yahweh's judgment on Moab. The opposition is not ontological (Kemosh is not a chaos monster) but geopolitical-theological: competing national divine claims. Mesha Stele is the Moabite mirror image of the same claim structure. Cross (1973) pp. 228-229.

2315 Kemosh ENT_MOA_KEMOSH reception_of Baal Hadad ENT_CAN_BAAL medium Kemosh shares significant traits with Baal Hadad — war deity, storm associations, divine anger, conflict theology — and likely inherits his divine typology from the broader West Semitic Baal tradition. The Mesha Stele's rhetorical structure (divine anger → defeat → divine favour → victory) mirrors Baal-cycle theological grammar. Cross (1973) p. 229 notes Kemosh's Baal-type features. Classified medium: the dependence is typological, not directly attested.
