>>18546148Baal became the El of Canaan, Yam and Mot did not (although Yam is daddy El's favorite), which implies that they lost or gave up the fight against Baal, if you do not consider Yam as Baal-Zephon (lord of Egyptian slaves and patron of sailors) and Mot as Belphegor (lord of the underworld), although the latter is probably Ashtar-Chemosh, patron of the Moabites, but who was actually worshiped before them by the Eblaites who called them Kamis.
>Baal-zephon (Hebrew: בַּעַל צְפֹן Baʿal Ṣəfōn; Akkadian: Bēl Ḫazi (dIM ḪUR.SAG); Ugaritic: baʿlu ṣapāni; Hurrian: Tešub Ḫalbağe; Egyptian: bꜥr ḏꜣpwnꜣ), was an epithet of the Canaanite storm god Baʿal (lit. "Lord") in his role as lord of Mount Zaphon, he is identified in the Ugaritic texts as Hadad. Because of the mountain's importance and location, it came to metonymously signify "north" in Hebrew, the name is therefore sometimes given in translation as Lord of the North. He was equated with the Greek god Zeus in his epithet Zeus Kasios and later with the Roman Jupiter Casius>Because Baʿal Zaphon was considered a protector of maritime trade, sanctuaries were constructed in his honor around the Mediterranean by his Canaanite and Phoenician devotees. "Baal-zephon" thereby also became a placename, most notably a location mentioned in the Hebrew Scriptures' Book of Exodus as the location where the Israelites miraculously crossed the Red Sea during their exodus from Egypt>The idol at Baalzephon was the only one that remained unharmed when God sent the tenth plague upon Egypt, which not only brought death to men and animals, but also destroyed the idols. When Pharaoh overtook Israel at the sea, near Baal-zephon (Ex. xiv. 9), he said, "This idol is indeed mighty, and the God of Israel is powerless over him." But God intentionally spared Baal-zephon in order to strengthen the infatuation of the wicked Pharaoh (Mek., Beshallaḥ, 2; Bo, 13)
