Šaggar
deity sky Hurrian single tradition · 4
Šaggar is the Moon-God mentioned along with ʿAštar in the Deir Alla Inscription. The subject of the inscription is largely the Sun-goddess Šamāš, thus forming a triad of the Sun, Moon, and Venus similarly to the one attested in South Arabia, and suggesting a South Arabian religious influence in Moab.
