When Baal complains he has no (royal) house, Anat vows to intercede with her father El, and threatens to bloody him if he does not grant Baal a house; she also asks Athirat to intercede with El, after which he grants Baal a house. Anat and Baal rejoice and hold a celebratory feast, but Mot is angered at not being invited, and threatens Baal. After Baal descends to the underworld, El and Anat mourn his death, and Anat searches the world and the underworld for him, her concern described in maternal terms, "like a cow for its calf". Anat finds Baal's body and carries it to the gods' sacred mountain, Saphon (Zephon), where she performs funeral rites and ritual sacrifices of animals, after which Baal is revived. Anat then finds Mot, seizes him, and splits him with a sword or knife, winnows him and burns him, and then grinds him with millstones and sifts him through a sieve like grain, and sows his remains into the sea or to the birds. Nonetheless, Mot returns and struggles further with Baal before finally acknowledging his kingship.
