Such borrowing is typical, even
though the monotheistic Hebrew
religion opposed the Canaanite
religion of many qods. Psalm 104
is filled with images of Baal, but
the Israelites substituted the
name Yahweh, their one god.
Ugarit records show a tough
military draft law that gave no
exemption for marriage. “Let
the newly wed groom come
forth. . ," says the Ugarit text.
In Deuteronomy 24 the 1 a w of
Moses indicates ‘ more leniency:
newlyweds got a one-year draft
exemption.

historic finds. Anthropoligists tur-
ned up what evidently had been
the roya archives of Ugarit:
stacks of tablets on which relig-
1 ious literature, mythology, trea-
ties, legal decrees and business
receipts were written.
From those documents scholars
determined that Ugaritic was the
first language to use an alphabet.
' As they translated the documents
they found that Ugaritic writing
and ideas had countless parall-
'ells with the later Hebrew cul-
ture. Actual passages of the Old
Testaiflent were found on tab-
lets in Ugarit.
