Editor's Note: Shamash (Akkadian Šamaš "Sun") was a native Mesopotamian deity and the Sun god in many Middle Eastern pantheons. Shamash was the god of justice in Babylonia and Assyria, and Sumeria. Akkadian šamaš "Sun" is cognate to Hebrew שמש šemeš and Arabic شمس šams. It’s still used at the end of Arabic and Jewish names.  A shamash also is the lead candle that lights the other eight on a menorah
