1. Jeremiah 7:18 Queen of Heaven, a name by which Ishtar, the Mesopotamian goddess of love and war, was called. After the fall of Jerusalem, the refugees who fled to Egypt continued to worship her (ch. 44). A papyrus dating from the fifth century B.C. found at Hermopolis in Egypt mentions the “Queen of Heaven” among the gods honored by the Jewish community.
