| Summary: | The Babylonian royal ritual text edited in this article prescribes the performance of two kinds of prayers: Šigû prayers and Emesal prayers. The text has four cycles, in each of which the target is one of the great gods (Marduk, Anu, Enlil, and Ea), as well as the minor gods functioning as intercessors on behalf of the king. The Marduk cycle is distinctive, compared with the other cycles, probably because of the special relation of Marduk with the king, kingship, and Babylon. تلخيص وصلاة إيمرسال Šigû يصف نص الطقوس الملكية البابلية الوارد في هذه المقالة أداء نوعين من الصلوات : صلاة سيجو .يحتوي النص على أربع دورات، يكون الهدف في كل منها أحد الآلهة العظماء (مردوخ، وآنو، وإنليل، وإيا)، Emesal بالإضافة إلى الآلهة الصغيرة التي تعمل كوسطاء نيابة عن الملك . إن دورة مردوخ متميزة ، مقارنة بالدورات الأخرى، ربما بسبب علاقة مردوخ الخاصة بالملك والملكية وبابل . |
