Quoted text:

“In the course of time,” according to van Buren,[1] “the model doorpost was transformed into the anthropomorphic image of the spirit and guardian of the house and therefore the servant of the owner. … [H]ence there soon arose an order of minor gods whose duty it was to act as ‘Guardians of the Gate,’ the best known of whom are the six sons of the god Ea.”
