El does lowerhis sceptre, he lays aside (?) the staff of his hand, he lifts up (his hand) (and shoots heavenward), he shoots a bird in the heavens, he plucks (it and) puts (it) on the coal(s). Surely El entices two women: lo! the two women cry out: 'O husband, husband, thy sceptre is lowered, the staff of thy hand laid aside(?) 'Lo! the bird is roasted at the fire; scorching hot at the coals are the two women, wives of El-wives of El (now) and forevermore!' And lo! the two women cry out: 'O dad, dad, thy sceptre is lowered, the staff of thy hand laid aside(?); lo! the bird is roasted at the fire; 'scorching hot at the coals are the two daughters, daughters of El-daughters of El (now and) forevermore
