When the ocean, the primeval parent of both,

The abyss Tiamat the mother of both....

The waters of both mingled in one.

No fields as yet were tilled, no moors to be seen,

When as yet of the gods not one had been produced,

No names they bore, no titles they had,

Then were born of the gods....

Lachmu Lachamu came into existence.

Many ages past....

Anshar, Kishar were born.
