AB - In the article Psalm 82 is illuminated with the Ugaritic texts. It is concluded that the specific term naming the heavenly council in the psalm, ל-ת is the one manifesting its seriousness and authority, as the corresponding words in its Ugarit usages mark the same. This understanding is made when the relevant references such as Psalm 82: 1; Isa 14: 13; KTU 1.2.i (m‘d); and and KTU 1.15.ii (‘dt) were all read in comparison.
Another conclusion revises the traditional rendering of verse 7, in which the unjust gods are punished like a man and one of chiefmen. However, in the light of KTU 1.23, the two could be understood as ‘Adam' and 'Shining One,’ who is also known as ‘Lucifer’ or ‘Morning Star,’ the fallen divine being. Adam and Shining One are the ones who were outcast from their privileged home, and it is apt to the sentences fallen to the unjust gods in the Psalm. This rendering is made when Is 14, which seems to have a close association with the Ugaritic ideas, sheds a supporting light to the interpretation of Ps 82: 7.
