Ninlil Quotes From Texts

Ninlil = Enlil’s spouse, Ningikuga’s / Nisaba’s & Enki’s daughter, sister to Ningal

        

Ningal Speaking in the 1st Person:

“‘Indeed, Enlil could be the best choice for you, dearest,

but he should ask your hand first to me and your father Haia’(Ninlil’s father).

         ‘Mother, if he is so special, tell me more about young Enlil‘ …”

 

         “So she had bumped into Lord Enlil himself.

As befitting to her and his station, she bowed graciously and introduced herself.

‘I lend you graces, my Lord.

My name is Ninlil, a newcomer to your domains.

          I am the daughter of Haia, Lord of the Stores and Numbarshegunu, the Goddess of Barley…”

 

         “Would she know how to please him?

She had never kissed anyone in the mouth, she had never touched a man’s body in a sexual act.

Caution and shyness won over curiosity and desire.

‘You are too great for me, my lord. I am too young. I have never known a man.

My vagina is too narrow, my mouth still untutored. Choose another one!’

          She said these words and fled to the welcoming waters of the canal which led to the river…”

 

         “‘Never before was a daughter of An (Anu),

a Maiden of the Holy House so ill-treated by one of the Anunnaki.

The waters of Mother Nammu (Enki’s mother), the Source of Life, were defiled by one of her own.

         May you stand trial, Enlil, for what you did to me.’…”

 

         “I am called Ninlil, a Maiden of the Holy House of An, daughter of Haia,

God of the Stores and of the Barley Goddess Numbarshegunu.

I came alone and of my own free will to the Land of No Return

to intercede for the life of my lord, Enlil, the Air god,

         who was sent to the Underworld because of a grave offense he did to myself…”

 

Ningal:

        “Young Ningal lived out in the marshlands close to the ancient settlement of Eridu,

        the beloved daughter of Ningikuga, the Goddess of Reeds, and Enki, the God of Magic, Crafts and Wisdom.

        Slim, black-haired Ningal of eyes darker than a moonless night was quiet only in appearance, …”

 

       “Ninlil, righteous woman of Enlil, you dwell in the Ki-ur…”

 

           “‘I knew this day would come!’

Numbarshegunu (Nisaba) exclaimed overjoyed, hugging Ninlil affectionately.

‘May you be proud of your womanhood, may bring happiness as much as you receive,

may your body know and give pleasure in all worlds you dare to fare!

May you conceive of your womb, may you create of your own hands, mind, heart and soul!

Now, we should search for a worthy partner for you,…”


         “Ninlil struggled in vain. He was much stronger.

Soon his mouth was in hers, his hands everywhere along her body, tearing her morning dress.

Then his member entered her vagina, breaking the sensitive skin that kept her maidenhood intact.

Ninlil released a shout of pain.

Then Enlil was inside her and moving to a rhythm of clouds pushed by early morning winds.

She twisted her thighs trying to escape,

but the discomfort gave way to an overwhelming sensation

that obliterated any rational thought as Enlil’s seed was spilled into her.

         The feeling was so intense that Enlil stopped moving, stunned, to look into her face…”

 

         “Ereshkigal, saw Enlil’s wrongdoing and heard the lament of the Maiden:

the Lady of the Great Below heeded the Maiden’s words.

She knew a door had been opened for Justice,

Growth and Regeneration in the Underworld

if only Enlil submitted to the Laws of the Land of No Return.

In Nippur, Ki, Mother Earth, also known as Urash, Ninmah, and Ninhursag

felt strongly that Enlil should suffer the hardest of all punishments for his conduct.

Never before had the Anunnaki taken to trial one of their own.

Shocked and circumspect, they gathered, and were forty-nine,

not the usual fifty in number, because Enlil was counted out for the first time.

In the lower platform sat 46 judges, in the higher was An, who presided all judgments,

sided by Ki (Antu is his mother, not Ninhursag) on his right and Enki on his left.

Father, Mother and Brother to Enlil they were,

but also the Guardians of the Attributes of Civilization, Law and Order.

The fourth high seat was empty.

It belonged to Enlil, the defendant.

Red-eyed Ninlil, sided by the healer goddess Gula

(Bau, Enlil’s sister and his daughter-in-law), sat quiet and dignified on the right.

         On the left and opposite to her was Enlil, whose discomfort was evident for all to see…”

 

         ‘Yes, Ninlil, he is gone.

We hope it is for the time being, until he learns a deep lesson,

until he pays the price for what he did to you and all Creation’,

Enki answered softly, bowing to her.

‘Enlil has just crossed the threshold to the Underworld.’

Ninlil kept silence for a little while, as if gathering all her strength to do what she should.

“‘I’ll follow my lord to the bowels of the earth’, she said out loud.

‘And beyond if need be”, she thought to herself.

As these words came out, she too vanished from the assembly.

Surprised, but not afraid anymore, Ninlil saw herself at the very city gate

she had crossed twice this very morning.

A tunnel entrance lied a few yards away.

In she went through the brick-built walls downwards for a long time.

Down, always downwards, deeper and deeper below Ninlil went.

When she was about to ask whether she had done right

to follow the sudden impulse of her heart’s desire, she discovered a massive wooden door. A gate!

But when she stretched her hand to pull the heavy iron handle up, a hand prevented her to do so.

A tall, imposing figure, eyes light of color as the first breeze of the day met hers

‘Go back, my lady. The door to the Underworld is closed to you’.

         So Ninlil had found the gate to the Depths Below and the doorkeeper…”

 

         “You married Ninlil (Enlil’s spouse) , the holy consort, … lady of your choice….

         who shares the holy throne, the pure throne with you,..”

 

           “They brought him before God Enlil and Goddess Ninlil

         Enlil brought forth from the sea his palace servant

         And Ninlil brought forth from…. her….

        When Enlil and Ninlil…..”

         May my favorite wife (Ninlil), who was born by holy Nisaba, be Ezina, the grain, the life of the Land.

         Sargon, lay down not to sleep, but lay down to dream.

         In the dream, holy Inana drowned Ur-Zababa in a river of blood…”

 

         “He made grain abundant in the furrows.

         He made Ezina appear radiant as a beautiful maiden.

         The harvest, the great festival of Enlil, rose heavenward…”

 

          “may Enlil my lord and Ninlil my lady curse that man!

The Debate Between Sheep and Grain: translation

(gods in blue)

1-11 When, upon the hill of heaven and earth,

An (Anu, King of planet Nibiru & Earth Colony) spawned the Anuna (alien giant Aninnaki) gods,

since he neither spawned nor created Grain (Nisaba) with them,

and since in the Land he neither fashioned the yarn of Uttu (the Goddess of Weaving)

1 - Uttu, goddess of weaving, relief of spinner (Uttu, Enki‘s daughter, Goddess of Weaving)

nor pegged out the loom for Uttu —

with no Sheep appearing, there were no numerous lambs,

and with no goats, there were no numerous kids, the sheep did not give birth to her twin lambs,

and the goat did not give birth to her triplet kids; the Anuna, the great gods,

did not even know the names Ezina–Kusu (Grain) or Sheep (unidentified goddess).

 

12-25 There was no muc grain of thirty days; there was no muc grain of forty days;

there was no muc grain of fifty days;

there was no small grain, grain from the mountains or grain from the holy habitations.

Tomb-stele, woman with distaff, child. Basalt, H: 100 cm Late Hittite, 8th-7th BCE Inv. 1756  (Uttu & helper spinning yarn)

There was no cloth to wear; Uttu had not been born — no royal turban was worn;

lord Nijir-si (Ninurta), the precious lord, had not been born;

Cakkan (God of 4-legged Animals) had not gone out into the barren lands.

2 - Primitive Man - Enki Found In Abzu2h - Enki in the Abzu doing DNA experiments

     (earthling wild being found by Enki in the Abzu     Enki with his DNA experiments attempting to fashion replacement workers)

The people of those days did not know about eating bread.

They did not know about wearing clothes; they went about with naked limbs in the Land.

Like sheep they ate grass with their mouths and drank water from the ditches.

 

26-36 At that time, at the place of the gods’ formation,

in their own home, on the Holy Mound, they created Sheep and Grain.

Having gathered them in the divine banqueting chamber,

1h - Relief at Maltaya

                (Anunnaki alien giants standing upon their symbols, zodiac symbols, etc.)

the Anuna gods of the Holy Mound partook of the bounty of Sheep and Grain but were not sated;

the Anuna gods of the Holy Mound partook of the sweet milk of their holy sheepfold but were not sated.

For their own well-being in the holy sheepfold, they gave them to mankind as sustenance.

 

37-42 At that time Enki spoke to Enlil: “Father Enlil,

now Sheep and Grain have been created (brought to Earth from Nibiru),

on the Holy Mound let us send them down from the Holy Mound.”

Enki and Enlil, having spoken their holy word, sent Sheep and Grain down from the Holy Mound.

 

43-53 Sheep being fenced in by her sheepfold, they gave her grass and herbs generously.

             (early farming on Earth Colony)

For Grain (Nisaba) they made her field and gave her the plow, yoke and team.

Sheep (unidentified goddess) standing in her sheepfold

was a shepherd of the sheepfolds brimming with charm.

Grain standing in her furrow was a beautiful girl radiating charm;

lifting her raised head up from the field she was suffused with the bounty of heaven.

Sheep and Grain had a radiant (female alien) appearance.

 

54-64 They brought wealth to the assembly.

They brought sustenance to the Land.

They fulfilled the ordinances of the gods.

They filled the store-rooms of the Land with stock.

The barns of the Land were heavy with them.

When they entered the homes of the poor who crouch in the dust they brought wealth.

Both of them, wherever they directed their steps, added to the riches of the household with their weight.

Where they stood, they were satisfying; where they settled, they were seemly.

They gladdened the heart of An and the heart of Enlil.

 

4d - Enlil & Ninlil with high-priestFeasting - governed by Nannar in Ur

65-70 They drank sweet wine, they enjoyed sweet beer.

When they had drunk sweet wine and enjoyed sweet beer,

they started a quarrel concerning the arable fields, they began a debate in the dining hall.

 

71-82 Grain called out to Sheep: “Sister, I am your better; I take precedence over you.

I am the glory of the lights of the Land.

1b - Inanna & torch or a weapon  (Inanna, Goddess of Love & War)

I grant my power to the sajursaj (a member of the cultic personnel of Inanna) —

he fills the palace with awe and people spread his fame to the borders of the Land.

I am the gift of the Anuna gods. I am central to all princes.

After I have conferred my power on the warrior,

when he goes to war he knows no fear, he knows no faltering (?) —

I make him leave …… as if to the playing field.

 

83-91 “I foster neighborliness and friendliness.

I sort out quarrels started between neighbors.

When I come upon a captive youth and give him his destiny,

he forgets his despondent heart and I release his fetters and shackles.

I am Ezina–Kusu (Grain) ; I am Enlil‘s daughter.

In sheep shacks and milking pens scattered on the high plain, what can you put against me?

Answer me what you can reply!”

 

92-101 Thereupon Sheep answered Grain: “My sister, whatever are you saying?

  (An / Anu, King of planet Nibiru & Earth Colony, god the father in heaven)

An, king of the gods, made me descend from the holy place, my most precious place.

All the yarns of Uttu, the splendor of kingship, belong to me.

Cakkan, (God of 4-legged Animals) king of the mountain,

embosses the king’s emblems and puts his implements in order.

He twists a giant rope against the great peaks of the rebel land.

He …… the slig, the quiver and the longbows.

 

102-106 “The watch over the elite troops is mine.

Sustenance of the workers in the field is mine: the waterskin of cool water and the sandals are mine.

Sweet oil, the fragrance of the gods, mixed (?) oil,

pressed oil, aromatic oil, cedar oil for offerings are mine.

 

107-115 “In the gown, my cloth of white wool, the king rejoices on his throne.

My body glistens on the flesh of the great gods.

After the purification priests, the incantation priests and the bathed priests

have dressed themselves in me for my holy lustration, I walk with them to my holy meal.

But your harrow, plowshare, binding and strap are tools that can be utterly destroyed.

What can you put against me? Answer me what you can reply!”

 

116-122 Again Grain addressed Sheep:

“When the beer dough has been carefully prepared in the oven, and the mash tended in the oven,

2 - Ninkasi 6a - Ninkasi brewing the beer2a - Ninkasi, Enki's daughter via Uttu

           (Ninkasi, Enki‘s daughter, the very popular giant alien Goddess of Beer)

Ninkasi (Goddess of Beer) mixes them for me

while your big billy-goats and rams are dispatched for my banquets.

On their thick legs they are made to stand separate from my produce.

 

123-129 “Your shepherd on the high plain eyes my produce enviously;

when I am standing in the furrow in the field,

my farmer chases away your herdsman with his cudgel.

Even when they look out for you, from the open country to the hidden places,

your fears are not removed from you: fanged (?) snakes and bandits,

the creatures of the desert, want your life on the high plain.

 

130-142 “Every night your count is made and your tally-stick put into the ground,

so your herdsman can tell people how many ewes there are

and how many young lambs, and how many goats and how many young kids.

When gentle winds blow through the city and strong winds scatter, they build a milking pen for you;

but when gentle winds blow through the city and strong winds scatter,

9d - giant god Teshub & unknown kingOLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA2c - Adad, fork & hammer

         (Adad / Ishkur, Enlil‘s son, giant alien God of Thunder & Storms, Adad upon his zodiac symbol Taurus the Bull)

I stand up as an equal to Ickur (Ishkur / Adad) (the god of storms) .

I am Grain, I am born for the warrior — I do not give up.

The churn, the vat on legs (?), the adornments of shepherding, make up your properties.

What can you put against me?

Answer me what you can reply!”

 

143-155 Again Sheep answered Grain:

 (giant Inanna horseback)

“You, like holy Inanna of heaven, love horses.

2d - Inanna Wars Against Marduk4a - Utu & Inanna gods of war

             (Inanna, alien Goddess of Love & War;         earthlings no match for giant alien gods Utu & Inanna)

When a banished enemy, a slave from the mountains or a laborer

with a poor wife and small children comes, bound with his rope of one cubit,

to the threshing-floor or is taken away from (?) the threshing-floor,

when his cudgel pounds your face, pounds your mouth, as a pestle (?) …… your ears (?) …….

and you are …… around by the south wind and the north wind.

The mortar …….

As if it were pumice (?) it makes your body into flour.

 

156-168 “When you fill the trough the baker’s assistant mixes you

and throws you on the floor, and the baker’s girl flattens you out broadly.

You are put into the oven and you are taken out of the oven.

When you are put on the table I am before you — you are behind me.

Grain, heed yourself!

You too, just like me, are meant to be eaten.

At the inspection of your essence, why should it be I who come second?

Is the miller not evil? What can you put against me? Answer me what you can reply!”

 

169-179 Then Grain was hurt in her pride, and hastened for the verdict.

1b - Ishkur, Adad, Teshub  (Ishkur / Adad, these ancient artifacts are now shamefully destroyed by Radical Islam)

Grain answered Sheep: “As for you, Ickur is your master,

Cakkan your herdsman, and the dry land your bed.

Like fire beaten down (?) in houses and in fields,

like small flying birds chased from the door of a house,

you are turned into the lame and the weak of the Land.

Should I really bow my neck before you?

You are distributed into various measuring-containers.

When your innards are taken away by the people in the market-place,

and when your neck is wrapped with your very own loincloth,

one man says to another: “Fill the measuring-container with grain for my ewe!”.”

 

5f - Enlil & Enki drinking, & on boat  (giant Anunnaki gods feasting & drinking)

180-191 Then Enki spoke to Enlil:

“Father Enlil, Sheep and Grain should be sisters!

They should stand together!

Of their threefold metal …… shall not cease.

But of the two, Grain (Nisaba, Enlil’s mother-in-law) shall be the greater.

Let Sheep (unidentified goddess) fall on her knees before Grain.

Let her kiss the feet of …….

From sunrise till sunset, may the name of Grain be praised.

Farming - naked plowman seal  (earthlings taught to farm by & for the gods)

People should submit to the yoke of Grain.

Whoever has silver, whoever has jewels, whoever has cattle,

whoever has sheep shall take a seat at the gate of whoever has grain, and pass his time there.”

 

192-193 Dispute spoken between Sheep and Grain:

2a - Enki keeper of the MUs-knowledge disks (Enki, Anu‘s eldest & wisest son, 1st to arrive on Earth, replaced by Enlil on being Anu‘s heir)

Sheep is left behind and Grain comes forward — praise be to father Enki!

2 - Primitive Man - Enki Found In Abzu2a - Anunnaki experiment to make workers

1-12 Men used to eat grass with their mouths like sheep.

In those times, they did not know grain, barley or flax.

3b - Anu of planet Nibiru6 - Anu above, Enlil, & Enki (Anu, King of the entire planet of Nibiru, alien ONE WORLD ORDER; ruler of sons who came down to colonize the Earth)

An (Anu) brought these down from the interior of heaven (planet Nibiru).

Enlil lifted his gaze around as a stag lifts its horns when climbing the terraced …… hills.

He looked southwards and saw the wide sea;

he looked northwards and saw the mountain of aromatic cedars (of Lebanon).

Enlil piled up the barley, gave it to the mountain (modified strain of mountain seed).

He piled up the bounty of the Land, gave the innuha barley to the mountain.

He closed off access to the wide-open hill.

He …… its lock, which heaven and earth shut fast (?), its bolt, which …….

 

13-20 Then Ninazu (son of Enlil sometimes, son of Ereshkigal sometimes)……,and said to his brother Ninmada:

“Let us go to the mountain, to the mountain where barley and flax grow;

…… the rolling river, where the water wells up from the earth.

Let us fetch the barley down from its mountain, let us introduce the innuha barley into Sumer.

Let us make barley known in Sumer, which knows no barley.”

 

21-27 Ninmada, the worshipper of An, replied to him: “Since our father has not given the command,

 (Enlil, son & heir to planet Nibiru – King Anu, Anu‘s son who came down to Earth, the Earth Colony Commander)

since Enlil has not given the command, how can we go there to the mountain?

How can we bring down the barley from its mountain?

How can we introduce the innuha grain into Sumer?

How can we make barley known in Sumer, which knows no barley?

The Song of the Hoe: translation

(Texts: All Artifacts, Color Coding, & Writings in Bold Type With Italics Inside Parenthesis, are Added by Editor R. Brown, not the Authors, Translators, or Publishers!)

(gods in blue …mixed-breed demigods in teal…)

(Ninhursag‘s creature creation = Enkidu)

 

In this composition, the word al ‘hoe’ is used as often as possible, as well as many nouns or verb forms beginning with — or merely containing — the syllable al (occasionally also ar).

 

1-7 Not only did the lord make the world appear in its correct form —

the lord who never changes the destinies which he determines:

 (Enlil, son & heir to Anunnaki King Anu, his father’s Earth Colony Commander, his decisions are final)

Enlil, who will make the human seed of the Land come forth

(3 mss. have instead: up) from the earth (2 other mss. have instead: chamber) —

and not only did he hasten to separate heaven from earth, and hasten to separate earth from heaven,

but, in order to make it possible for humans to grow in ‘Where Flesh Came Forth’

(2 mss. have instead: ‘Where Flesh Grew’) [the name of a cosmic location],

3a - nippur ziggurat, Enlil's home on Earth  (Enlil‘s residence & Earth Colony Command Center in his city of Nippur)

he first suspended (2 mss. have instead: raised) the axis of the world at Dur-an-ki (“Bond Heaven and Earth”).

 

8-17 He did this with the help of the hoe (al) — and so daylight broke forth (aled).

By distributing (altare) the shares of duty he established daily tasks,

and for the hoe (al) and the carrying-basket wages were even established.

Then Enlil praised his hoe (al), his hoe (al) wrought in gold,

its top inlaid with lapis lazuli (blue-hued gem stone), his hoe (al) whose blade was tied on with a cord,

which was adorned with silver and gold, his hoe (al), the edge of whose point (?) was a plow of lapis lazuli,

whose blade was like a battering ram standing up to a great (gal) wall

(1 ms. has instead: born for a great (gal) person (?)).

The lord evaluated the hoe (al), determined its future destiny and placed a holy crown on its head …….

 

18-27 Here, in ‘Where Flesh Came Forth’ (1 ms. has instead: ‘Where Flesh Grew’)

[the name of a cosmic location], he set this very hoe (al) to work;

(1 other ms. has instead: in ‘Where Flesh Grew’ the unassailable (?),)

Workers - Ancient Man At Work Workers - Primative Workers In The Edin

he had it place the first model of mankind in the brick mold (aliens cloning workers, DNA technologies).

His Land started to break through the soil towards Enlil.

6f - Enlil & Enki drinking in Nippur  (Enlil & Enki served by earthling primitives, “modern man”)

He looked with favor at his black-headed people.

Now the Anuna gods stepped forward to him, and did (jal) obeisance to him.

They calmed Enlil with a prayer, for they wanted to demand (al-dug) the black-headed people (workers) from him.

2a - Anunnaki experiment to make workers4a - I have done it, the worker of the gods

       (Ninhursag, Enki, & Ningishzidda worked the DNA mixing of alien giants with upright walking primitives, SEE ADAPA TEXTS)

Ninmena (Ninhursag), the lady who had given birth to the ruler,

Farming - gods then man tilled the fields

(“modern man” fashioned by alien giants, to replace Anunnaki workers from their heavy burdens, Anunnaki leader Enlil demanded workers for Eden from Enki‘s group in the mines of SO Africa, creating problems between the Anunnaki)

who had given birth to the king, now set (aljaja) human reproduction going.

 

28-34 The leader of heaven and earth, lord Nunamnir (Enlil),

         named the important persons and valued (kal) persons.

He …… these persons, and recruited them to provide for the gods (in Eden).

Now Enki praised Enlil‘s hoe (al), and the maiden Nisaba (Enlil‘s mother-in-law) was made responsible

2 - Geshtinanna, daughter to Enki & Ninsun  (Nisaba, alien Anunnaki Master Scribe, Goddess of Grains, many of her records discovered)

for keeping records of the decisions.

And so people took (jal) the shining hoes (al), the holy hoes (al), into their hands.

3a - nippur ziggurat, Enlil's home on Earth  (mud brick-built mountain / temple / residence of Enlil & Ninlil, city of Nippur below)

 

35-42 The E-kur, the temple of Enlil, was founded by the hoe (al).

By day it was building (aldue) it, by night it caused the temple to grow (almumu).

49-51 The shrine E-ana (Anu‘s temple – residence in Uruk)

was cleaned up by means of the hoe (al) for the lady of E-ana, the good cow (immal) (2 mss. have instead: woman).

The hoe (al) deals with ruin mounds, the hoe (al) deals with weeds.

 

52-55 In the city of Zabalam (city loyal to Inanna), the hoe (al) is Inanna‘s workman (?).

She determined the destiny of the hoe (al), with its projecting lapis-lazuli beard (1 ms. has instead: tooth).

2a - Utu, Shamash, twin to InannaUtu Shamash

     (Nisaba, spouse to Haia, Ninlil‘s mother, Master Anunnaki Scribe, Goddess of Grains, hoe & plow)

 

56-58 The lady with broad (dajal) intelligence, Nisaba,

ordered the measuring of the E-ana for a construction project (altar),

and then designed her own E-hamun (in Uruk) for construction (altar).

 

59-70 The king who measured up the hoe (al) and who passes (zal) his time in its tracks,

Farming - plow & seed in Sumer  (planet Nibiru‘s cross symbol in the sky)

the hero Ninurta, has introduced working with the hoe (altar) into the rebel (bal) lands.

He subdues (aljaja) any city that does not obey its lord.

Towards heaven he roars (algigi) like a storm, earthwards he strikes (aljaja) like a dragon (ucumgal).

Cara (Shara, Inanna‘s son, Roman god Cupid) sat down on (1 ms. has instead: got onto) Enlil‘s knees,

The Debate Between the Hoe and the Plow: translation

The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature,

(Texts: All Artifacts, Color Coding, & Writings in Bold Type With Italics Inside Parenthesis, are Added by Editor R. Brown, not the Authors, Translators, or Publishers!)

(gods in blue)

1-6 O the Hoe, the Hoe, the Hoe, tied together with thongs;

the Hoe, made from poplar, with a tooth of ash;

the Hoe, made from tamarisk, with a tooth of sea-thorn; the Hoe, double-toothed, four-toothed;

the Hoe, child of the poor, …… bereft even of a loin-cloth (?) — the Hoe started a quarrel …… with the Plow.

7a - when the gods did the work before man

           (when the alien Anunnaki gods did the work on Earth Colony)

7-19 The Hoe having engaged in a dispute with the Plow, the Hoe addressed the Plow:

“Plow, you draw furrows –what does your furrowing matter to me?

You break clods — what does your clod-breaking matter to me?

When water overflows you cannot dam it up.

2a - Nisaba, master scribe, grain goddess  (Nisaba, Enlil‘s mother-in-law, Goddess of Grain)

You cannot fill baskets with earth.

You cannot spread out clay to make bricks.

You cannot lay foundations or build a house.

You cannot strengthen an old wall’s base.

You cannot put a roof on a good man’s house.

Plow, you cannot straighten the town squares.

7c - gods teach mankind to plow

  (in the beginning, giant alien gods from Nibiru had to do the work of men during early settlement period)

Plow, you draw furrows — what does your furrowing matter to me?

You make clods — what does your clod-making matter to me?”

20-33 The Plow addressed the Hoe: “I am the Plow, fashioned by great strength,

http://earthstation1.simplenet.com

(Enlil finally hands the plow over to earthlings to endure their workloads forced upon modern man, farming, sheep-herding, etc.)

assembled by great hands, the mighty registrar of father Enlil.

I am mankind’s faithful farmer.

To perform my festival in the fields in the harvest month,

the king slaughters cattle and sacrifices sheep, and he pours beer into a bowl.

The king offers the …… libation.

The ub and ala drums resound.

(1 ms. adds 1 line:1 line fragmentary)

7b - farming in Enlil's Edin  (alien giants taught mankind to farm for the gods)

The king takes hold of my handles, and harnesses my oxen to the yoke.

All the great high-ranking persons walk at my side.

All the lands gaze at me in great admiration.

The people watch me in joy.

Farming - gods then man tilled the fields

      (earthlings take on the burdensome yoke of hard labor, working for the alien giant gods)

34-40 “The furrow tilled by me adorns the plain.

Before the stalks erected by me in the fields, the teeming herds of Cakkan kneel down.

In performing my labor amid the ripened barley, (1 ms. adds 2 lines: I vie with the mighty scythe (?).

After the reaped …… and the grain have been gathered,) the shepherd’s churn is improved.

3a - Inanna & Dumuzi

                   (Inanna             spouse Dumuzi “The Shepherd”, later taught Abel to tend sheep for the alien gods)

With my sheaves spread over the meadows the sheep of Dumuzid (Dumuzi) are improved.

41-51 “My threshing-floors punctuating the plain are yellow hillocks radiating beauty.

I pile up stacks and mounds for Enlil.

I amass emmer and wheat for him.

I fill the storehouses of mankind with barley.

The orphans, the widows and the destitute take their reed baskets and glean my scattered ears.

People come to drag away my straw, piled up in the fields.

The teeming herds of Cakkan thrive.

52-56 “Hoe, digging miserably, weeding miserably with your teeth; Hoe, burrowing in the mud;

Hoe, putting its head in the mud of the fields, spending your days with the brick-molds in mud

with nobody cleaning you, digging wells, digging ditches, digging ……!

57-62 “Wood of the poor man’s hand, not fit for the hands of high-ranking persons,

the hand of a man’s slave is the only adornment of your head.

You deliver deep insults to me.

You compare yourself to me.

When I go out to the plain, everyone looks on but (2 mss. add 1 line: the Hoe does not …… the Plow, and)

insultingly you call me “Plow, the digger of furrows”.”

63-66 Then the Hoe addressed the Plow:

“Plow, what does my being small matter to me, what does my being exalted matter to me,

what does my being powerful matter to me? — at Enlil‘s place I take precedence over you,

2e - Enlil's home in Nippur3a - Enlil's Ekur-House in Nippur (E-kur, Enlil’s residence in Nippur)

in Enlil‘s temple (residence & Anunnaki Command Central) I stand ahead of you.

67-75 “I build embankments, I dig ditches.

I fill all the meadows with water.

When I make water pour into all the reed-beds, my small baskets carry it away.

When a canal is cut, or when a ditch is cut, when water rushes out at the swelling of a mighty river,

creating lagoons on all sides (?), I, the Hoe, dam it in.

Neither south nor north wind can separate it.

76-79 “The fowler gathers eggs.

The fisherman catches fish.

People empty bird-traps.

Thus the abundance I create spreads over all the lands.

80-90 “After the water has been diverted from the meadows

and the work on the wet areas is taken in hand,

Plow, I come down to the fields before you.

I initiate the opening up of the field for you.

I clear the recesses of the embankment for you.

I remove the weeds in the field for you.

I heap up the stumps and the roots in the field for you.

But when you work the field, there is a procession (?):

your oxen are six, your people four — you yourself are the eleventh …….

…… the preparatory work in the field.

And you want to compare yourself with me?

91-103 “When you come out to the field after me, your single furrow brings you pleasure.

When you put your head to work and get entangled in roots and thorns, your tooth breaks.

Once your tooth is fixed, you cannot hold onto your tooth.

Your farmer calls you “This Plow is done for”.

Carpenters have to be hired again for you, people …… for you.

A whole workshop of artisans surrounds you.

The fullers depilate a …… fleece for you.

They stretch it over the wringer for you.

They toil at the straps for you — then they place the foul hide on your head.

104-108 “Your work is slight but your behavior is grand.

My time of duty is twelve months, but your effective time is four months

and your time of absence is eight months — you are gone for twice as long as you are present.

5c - Enki & shipping

109-116 “Upon your boat (?) you make a hut.

When you are put on board and your “hands” rip out the beams,

your “face” has to be pulled from the water like a wine-jar.

After I have made a pile of logs (?) my smoke dries you out in the house.

What happens to your seeding-funnel if it once falls?

Anyone who drops you smashes it, making it a completely destroyed tool.

117-121 “I am the Hoe and I live in the city.

No one is more honored than I am.

I am a servant following his master.

I am one who builds a house for his master.

I am one who broadens the cattle-stalls, who expands the sheepfolds.

122-126 “I spread out clay and make bricks.

I lay foundations and build a house.

I strengthen an old wall’s base.

I put a roof on a good man’s house.

I am the Hoe, I straighten the town-squares.

127-131 “When I have gone through the city and built its sturdy walls,

have made the temples of the great gods splendid

and embellished them with brown, yellow and decorative (?) clay,

2c - Nippur  (mud brick-built mountains / residences of the giant alien gods)

I build in the city of the palace where the inspectors and overseers live.

132-138 “When the weakened clay has been built up and the fragile (?) clay buttressed,

they refresh themselves when the time is cool in houses I have built.

When they rest on their sides by a fire which a hoe has stirred up,

you do not come to the joyous celebration (?).

They feed the laborer, give him drink and pay him his wages:

thus I have enabled him to support his wife and children.

139-141 “I make a kiln for the boatman and heat pitch for him.

By fashioning magur and magilum boats for him, I enable the boatman to support his wife and children.

142-150 “I plant a garden for the householder.

When the garden has been encircled, surrounded by mud walls

and the agreements reached, people again take up a hoe.

When a well has been dug, a water lift constructed and a water-hoist hung, I straighten the plots.

I am the one who puts water in the plots.

After I have made the apple-tree grow, it is I who bring forth its fruits.

These fruits adorn the temples of the great gods:

thus I enable the gardener to support his wife and children.

151-158 “After I have worked on the watercourse and the sluices, put the path in order

and built a tower there on its banks, those who spend the day in the fields,

and the field-workers who match them by night, go up into that tower.

These people revive themselves there just as in their well-built city.

The water-skins I made they use to pour water.

I put life into their hearts again.

159-162 “Insultingly you call me “Plow, the digger of ditches”.

But when I have dug out the fresh water for the plain and dry land where no water is,

those who have thirst refresh themselves at my well-head.

163-173 “What then does one person say to another?

What does one tell another in detail?:

“The shepherd adorns the plain with his ewes and lambs.

After the heavens had been turned upside down, after bitter lament had been imposed on Sumer,

after, as houses were overwhelmed by the rivers and Enlil frowned in anger upon the land,

  (Enlil, son & heir to King Anu, leader of the Anunnaki giants in Heaven & on Earth)

Enlil had flooded the harvest, after Enlil had acted mightily thus,

Enlil did not abandon us — the single-toothed Hoe was struck against the dry earth.

174-178A ”For us you raise winter like the harvest-time.

We take away the hand of summer and winter.

Hoe, the binder, ties the sheaves.

Binding bird-traps, it ties the reed-baskets.

The solitary laborer and the destitute are supported. (2 mss. add 1 line: They glean the scattered ears.)“

179-185 Then the Storm spoke: “The mortar lies still while the pestle pounds.

People fight with grinding stones.

The sieve disputes with the strainer.

What have you done to the one who is angry?

Why are you scornful of Ezina (grain goddess Nisaba or daughter Ninlil)?

Why do you swap names (?) over the ripened grain

(1 ms. has instead: Why, Plow, is the ripened grain in your seeding-funnel)?”

186-193 Enlil addressed the Hoe: “Hoe, do not start getting so mightily angry!

Do not be so mightily scornful! Is not Nisaba the Hoe’s inspector?

2b - Enlil, spouse Haia, Nisaba, & Ninlil

              (Enlil,    parent in-laws Haia & Nisaba, spouse Ninlil,     unidentified)

Is not Nisaba its overseer?

The scribe will register your work, he will register your work.

Hoe, whether he enters five or ten gij in your account,

Hoe — or, Hoe, whether he enters one-third or one-half mana in your account,

Hoe, like a maid-servant, always ready, you will fulfill your task.”

194-196 The Hoe having engaged in a dispute with the Plow,

the Hoe triumphed over the Plow —  praise be to Nisaba!

2c - Haia, Enlil, unknown god, & Nisaba

                 (Haia                  Enlil           unidentified god     Nisaba, Master Scribe & Goddess of Grains)

         3ac - Nippur ground level  (Enlil‘s mountain E-kur residence constructed in Nippur)

        At that time Enlil had not yet been given a wife in the E-kur (Enlil‘s temple / residence in Nippur) ;

        Ninlil‘s (Enlil‘s spouse) name was not yet famous in the Ki-ur.

        After traveling through Sumer and to the ends of the universe, he ……;

        2ca - Anu's temple, at least 3500B.C.  (Uruk, residence of giant alien gods)

        in his search throughout the Land, Enlil, the Great Mountain, stopped at Erec (Uruk).

        4 - Ninlil, Enlil's spouse  (Ninlil, spouse to Enlil)

        As he looked around there, he found the woman of his choice.

        He approached her and, overflowing with joy, engaged her in conversation:

        “I will make you perfect in a queen’s dress; after standing in the street, you will be …….

        How impressed I am by your beauty, even if you are a shameless person!”

        In her youthful inexperience Sud answered Enlil:

        “If I want to stand proudly at our gate, who dares to give me a bad reputation?

        What are your intentions?

        Why have you come here?

        …… from my sight!”

        Others (?) had already tried to deceive ……, and made her (?) angry.

        1ae - Enlil, Babylonian  (Enlil, light haired, blue-eyed, giant alien god, Earth Colony Commander)

        Enlil …… answered Sud (NInlil), …… standing closer to her:

        “Come, I want to speak to you!

        I will have a talk with you about your becoming my wife.

        Kiss me, my lady of most beautiful eyes — the matter rests in your hands.”

        But the words had barely left his mouth when, right in front of him, she went into the house.

        The heart of the wise lord pounded.

        He called for Nuska (Enlil‘s minister). “What is your wish?”

        He gave the following instructions to him:

2cd - Anu's temple-home in Uruk

                  (stairways & ramparts to the residence of giant alien gods who lived in Uruk)       

        “I want you to go back to Erec (Uruk), the city of Nisaba, the city whose foundations are august.

        Do not delay! Repeat to her what I am going to tell you:

        “I am a young man, I have sent this message to you because of my wish:

        I want to take your daughter as wife. Give me your consent.

        I will send you presents in my name, …… my marriage gifts.

        I will present her with the Ja-jic-cua as her storehouse.

        She shall determine fates.

        She shall apportion the divine powers (alien technologies) among the Anuna (Anunnaki), the great gods.

        And as for you, I will place in your hands the lives of the black-headed people.”

        When you get there, let the woman I have chosen for her beauty …… her mother.

        Do not go to her empty-handed, but take her some jewelry in your left hand.
