Editing Resheph (section)

===Hurrian reception===
Like a number of other deities originally worshiped in Ebla, such as [[Adamma (goddess)|Adamma]], [[Aštabi]], [[Ḫepat]] and [[Išḫara|Ishara]], Resheph was incorporated into the [[Hurrian pantheon]], as attested in texts from [[Ugarit]],{{sfn|Archi|2013|p=14}} [[Emar]]{{sfn|Streck|2008|p=252}} and [[Alalakh]].{{sfn|Münnich|2013|p=122}} He was regarded as the tutelary god of the [[marketplace]] in [[Hurrian religion]].{{sfn|Archi|2013|p=14}} He was referred to as ''damkarrassi'', “of commerce”, a [[loanword]] derived from [[Sumerian language|Sumerian]] DAM.GÀR.{{sfn|Rutherford|2019|p=82}} He belonged to the circle of deities associated with [[Teshub]], and in standard offering lists ({{ill|kaluti|de|Kaluti-Liste}}) he typically appears between [[Ḫešui]] and [[Tenu (god)|Tenu]].{{sfn|Taracha|2009|p=118}}

Three [[theophoric names]] invoking the Hurrian form of Resheph have been identified in the [[Ugaritic texts]].{{sfn|van Soldt|2016|p=105}} One example is Tagi-Irshappa, “Irshappa is beautiful”.{{sfn|Münnich|2013|p=166}} In Alalakh, the evidence for the worship of Resheph is limited to two certain and four dubious theophoric names, with both of the former, Irshappa (either an abbreviation or a personal name identical with the Hurrian variant of the theonym) and Irshapi-andi, being Hurrian.{{sfn|Münnich|2013|p=122-123}}

Manfred Krebernik has suggested that the fact that in a single Ugaritic text Resheph is invoked from Bibitta, elsewhere described as a cult center of the Hurrian god [[Nupatik]], might indicate that he was locally equated with that god.{{sfn|Krebernik|2013|p=201}} The existence of a connection between them is also accepted by Maciej M. Münnich.{{sfn|Münnich|2013|p=151}} Aicha Rahmouni notes that an epithet of Nupatik attested in [[Hittites|Hittite]] sources, <sup>d</sup>[[Lamassu|LAMMA]] KI.KAL.BAD, “Nupatik of the army”, is semantically a parallel of Resheph's Ugaritic title, “Resheph of the army”.{{sfn|Rahmouni|2008|p=299}}

The Hurrian form of Resheph was among the deities incorporated into the [[Hittite mythology and religion|Hittite pantheon]] in [[Samuha]] and the [[Hittite Empire|Hittite]] capital [[Hattusa]] under the influence of Hurrian religion.{{sfn|Archi|2013|p=14}} The evidence for the association between Resheph and trade is also present in Hittite texts, for example a festival tied to the cults of Samuha refers to him with the epithet ''damkarrassi''.{{sfn|Rutherford|2019|p=82}}
