“In the fragmentary inscriptions at Deir Alla, shaddayin appear (Hebrew: שדין; the vowels are uncertain, as is the gemination of the d), perhaps lesser figurations of Shaddai. These have been tentatively identified with the šēdim "demons" (Hebrew: שדים) of Deuteronomy 32:17 (parashah Haazinu) and Psalm 106: 37–38, who are Canaanite deities.”
