The Death of Enkidu

In my dream, Anu, Enlil, and Shamash held a council. Anu said to Enlil:

‘They killed the Bull of Heaven have also slain Humbaba, the one of them who pulled up the Cedar of the Mountain must die!’

Enlil said:

‘Let Enkidu die, but Gilgamesh must live.’

Then Enlil became angry at Shamash: ‘you are responsible because you traveled daily with them as theirfriend!"’

Enkidu was lying sick in front of Gilgamesh.

His tears flowing like canals, Gilgamesh said:

“O dear brother, why are they absolving me instead of you?”

“So now I must become a ghost, to sit with the ghosts of the dead, to see my dear brother nevermore! Come, Friend,…The door…

Gilgamesh:

I will appeal to Enlil. I will make a golden statue for it.

Enkidu:

What Enlil says or has laid cannot be taken back. That is the fate of mankind.”

Shamash:

“Enkidu, why are you cursing the harlot, Shamhat, who helped you?

Enkidu grew calm.
