In Jeremiah - Who is the "Queen of Heaven"? Is this a reference to a god in chaldea or somewhere else?
NKJV, Jeremiah 44:25 - Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying: ‘You and your wives have spoken with your mouths and fulfilled with your hands, saying, “We will surely keep our vows that we have made, to burn incense to the queen | לִמְלֶ֣כֶת of heaven and pour out drink offerings to her.” You will surely keep your vows and perform your vows!’
Why is their inconsistency - even in the book of Jeremiah?
2 Chronicles 9:12 - לְמַֽלְכַּת
Esther 1:9 - הַמַּלְכָּ֔ה
Song of Solomon 6:8 - Queens | מְּלָכ֔וֹת
Isaiah 49:23 - Queens (Princesses?) | וְשָׂרֽוֹתֵיהֶם֙
Jeremiah 13:18 - וְלַגְּבִירָ֖ה - Noble Woman or Queen?
Daniel 5:10 - Queen | מַלְכְּתָ֕א
