Duties of a son, from The Story of Aqhat: To erect a stele for his ancestral gods; to build a family shrine in the sanctuary; to guard his footsteps from earth to underworld; to take his hand when he is drunk; to put his arm over one's shoulder when he is full of wine; to eat a funeral meal in the temple of Ba'al; to offer a sacrifice in the house of El.
Thanks for visiting my blog! ---SLC

Let us hope that next year, the world will begin to experience truly open Dead Sea Scrolls exhibits, in which scholars of all faiths, no matter what their views on Scroll origins, will be invited to participate and discuss their differences in a spirit of free inquiry. Let us always remember that the public has the right to hear both sides of the story. And let us resolve to finally join together in a great interfaith exploration of our mutual pasts.
