DINGIR (𒀭) is an ancient Sumerian term for "god"; the Akkadian equivalent is ilu(m) (𒄿𒇻𒌝).

Concordance, Etymology, History

Kurtik with Hilder, Hoffmann, Horowitz, Kim

= ilu(m) "God"; the generic term for deities in Sumerian and Akkadian. The term used a few times with reference to the name the Moon and or the Sun within astrological texts [Gössmann[1] 194].

Sources Identifications
"The Shileiko Tablet."

Old Babylonian predictions on the observations of the Moon:

  • DIŠ i-na ša-me-e i-lu-um i-na u4-mi bi-bu-li-im / ar-ḫi-iš la it-ba-al / a-ru-ur2-tum i-na ma-a-tim iš-ša-ka-an
    • "If God(= Moon)’s appearance does not disappear quickly from the sky during the day: there will be drought in the country". [Horowitz 2000[2], 204-205: 8-10], see also [ibid.[3] 204-205: 11-12, 15].
 Example
EAE.

See [ABCD[4], 179-227 passim; NSAM 2[5], 221-222].

"Reports" and "Letters."

See. [ARAK[6], 320a; LBAT[7], 333a].

Neo-Assyrian Texts

In Neo-Assyrian texts we find standard expressions concerning the opposition of the Sun and the Moon:

  • UD-14-KAM2 DINGIR KI DINGIR IGI-ma
    • "On the 14th day (of the month) the god will see (another) god" [ARAK[8], 294 r. 2];
  • UD-14-KAM2 DINGIR KI DINGIR la in- / [nam-mar-ma]
    • "On the 14th day the god did not see (another) god" [ARAK[9], 295:3];
  • DIŠ 30 u dUTU šu-ta-ta-u2 / LUGAL KUR uz-nu u2-rap-pa-aš2 / UD-14-KAM2 ITI-us-su DINGIR KI DINGIR IGI-ma
    • "If the Moon and the Sun are in opposition, let the king of the country expand his understanding: on the 14th day of each month one god will see (another) god" [ARAK[10], 371: 1-3];
  • ina UD-15-KAM2 / DINGIR KI DINGIR / it-ta-mar
    • "On the 15th day a god with (another god) appeared (together)" (report of observations made) [LABS, 135 r. 3-5], see also [Koch-Westenholz 1999[11], 157].

These reports and letters refer to the observation of the Sun and the Moon when they stand in opposition to each other during mid-lunar month, and be observed simultaneously on opposite sides of the horizon at Sunrise and Sunset.

= ilu(m) «Бог»; не часто используемое название Луны и Солнца в астрологических текстах [G. 194].

I. Источники.

«Табличка Шилейко». Старовавилонские предсказания по наблюдениям Луны: DIŠ i-na ša-me-e i-lu-um i-na u4-mi bi-bu-li-im / ar-ḫi-iš la it-ba-al / a-ru-ur2-tum i-na ma-a-tim iš-ša-ka-an  «Если Бог(=Луна) на небе в день (своего) появления не исчезает быстро: в стране будет засуха» [Horowitz 2000, 204–205: 8–10], см. также [ibid. 204–205: 11–12, 15]. EAE. См.[ABCD, 179–227 passim; NSAM 2, 221–222]. «Рапорты» и «Письма». См. [ARAK, 320a; LBAT, 333a].

В новоассирийских текстах встречаем стандартные выражения, касающиеся оппозиции Солнца и Луны: UD-14-KAM2 DINGIR KI DINGIR IGI-ma «В 14-й день (месяца) бог увидит (другого) бога « [ARAK, 294 r. 2]; UD-14-KAM2 DINGIR KI DINGIR la in- / [nam-mar-ma] «В 14-й день бог не увидел (другого) бога» [ARAK, 295:3]; DIŠ 30 u dUTU šu-ta-ta-u2 / LUGAL KUR uz-nu u2-rap-pa-aš2 / UD-14-KAM2 ITI-us-su DINGIR KI DINGIR IGI-ma «Если Луна и Солнце находятся в оппозиции, царь страны пусть расширит свое понимание: в 14-й день каждого месяца один бог увидится с (другим) богом» [ARAK, 371: 1–3]; ina UD-15-KAM2 / DINGIR KI DINGIR / it-ta-mar «В 15-й день бог с (другим богом) появились (вместе)» (сообщение о проведенном наблюдении) [LABS, 135 r. 3–5], см. также [Koch–Westenholz 1999, 157]. В этих рапортах и письмах речь идет о наблюдении Солнца и Луны в момент, когда они находятся в оппозиции в середине лунного месяца и могут наблюдаться одновременно в противоположных сторонах горизонта.

См. также: DINGIR KUR-ma KU NU ZAḪ3 «Бог (=Марс) взойдет и не станет причиной разрушения […]» [ABCD, 125, D ii 5 + note 7].
