Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['02400701800000'], 'Content': 'The original reading of the passages in Jeremiah is the "queen of heaven", i.e. the mother godess. cf. versiones: LXX, Vg, Aq, Sym, Th. The cakes offered to the deity in Jer 7:18; 44:19 may have been star-shaped. The most likely candidates for the title in Jer 7 and 44 are the West Semitic Astarte and the Mesopotamian Ishtar, both of whom are fertility goddesses identified with Venus, the morning and evening star. Both were offered cakes as part of their cult, though it is only Ishtar in whose image cakes were baked and whose cult held a particular appeal for women. Ishtar was known as the queen or lady of heaven. Queen of Heaven in Jeremiah is therefore a syncretistic deity, combining aspects of Astarte and Ishtar.'}
