In a busy ceramic workshop on the edge of ancient Yavne, sometime in the seventh century BC, someone lost or set aside a small limestone seal carved with a scene of worship, a bearded man raising his hand toward the moon and a star.
In the Land of Canaan, on Mount Zion—if I am not mistaken—to the west of Jerusalem, they worshipped the twins ‘Shachar and Shalem’.
Shachar – black; the black moon.
Shalem – the full moon.
There may be a connection.
