Hebat was also worshiped by the Luwians as a result of Teshub, adopted from Halab, displacing the native storm god Tarhunt in the pantheons of their easternmost communities. In the early first millennium BCE, Hebat was worshiped alongside Tarhunt in the neo-Hittite kingdom of Tabal. Associations with other deities According to Daniel Schwemer, Hebat's primary function was that of a spouse, and she existed largely in the shadow of her husband. It is possible that the association between her and a weather god, whose identity varied, went as far back as the twenty seventh century BCE. It is assumed that Halabadu and Addu (Adad), the weather god, were already viewed as a couple in the Eblaite texts. In Hurrian tradition, her spouse was Teshub. In late sources from Tabal, this role was played by Tarhunt. It is also possible Hebat was regarded as the wife of the weather god in Emar, where traditions pertaining to coastal Baal, inland Adad and Hurrian Teshub likely coexisted. Lluís Feliu argues that in Syrian tradition Hebat was likely viewed as Dagan's daughter and as such as a sister of the storm god of Halab. In an Ugaritic source, Hebat is equated with Pidray, one of the daughters of the local weather god, Baal. According to Daniel Schwemer, it is unlikely that this equation was based on a tradition in which Pidray was Baal's wife, and the latter, unlike his counterparts, was most likely regarded as unmarried. of Hebat Various deities were included in the , or offering lists, dedicated to Hebat, and as such formed a part of her circle: her son Šarruma, her two daughters Allanzu and Kunzišalli, Takitu, Hutena and Hutellura, Allani, Ishara, Shalash, Damkina, (Umbu-)Nikkal, Ayu-Ikalti (Aya), Shaushka with her servants Ninatta and Kulitta, Nabarbi, Shuwala, Adamma, Kubaba, Hašuntarhi, Uršui-Iškalli, Tiyabenti, as well as undefined ancestors of Hebat and various cultic paraphernalia connected with her. A similar selection of deities follows Hebat and her family in the Yazılıkaya sanctuary: Takitu, Hutena and Hutellura, Allani, Ishara, Nabarbi, Shalash, Damkina, Nikkal, Aya, Shaushka and Shuwala are identified by name in accompanying inscriptions, while six other goddesses are left unnamed. Another deity attested in association with Hebat in ritual texts is Mušuni, who formed
