—Psalm 132:2.
It is a stage higher in refinement, when the god is not represented as a naked demon, nor as a powerful animal, however majestic in its strength, but as a clothed being. Such a representation of the deity we have both in the Assyrian and the Hebrew hymns:
Father Nannar who dost go forth in the robe of majesty chief of the gods.
—Hymn to Sin No. 5.
Robed in splendor, clothed in terror.
—Hymn to Nergal No. 2.
Chief of the great gods, clothed in grandeur and splendor.
—Hymn to Nergal No. 5.
Who art clothed with terror, who art full of glory.
—Hymn to Ninib No. 1.
