Shahar (god)

Shakhar or Shahar is the god of dawn in the pantheon of Ugarit. Shahar is described as a child of El along with a twin, Shalim, the god of dusk. As the markers of dawn and dusk, Shahar and Shalim also represented the temporal structure of the day.

The names Shakhar and Shalim are masculine, and it appears the gods are as well, except in the Tanakh, where Shakhar is most often feminine. Sometimes she (they) are depicted with beautiful eyelids, once with wings, and of whom dew is the womb's offspring.
