Please keep the Campus Decorum in mind when posting here--while 'belief' restrictions are not in place, common decency is.
The Tweb rules are in force . . . we're watching you.

I find that same quote multiple places, some of which are simply citing Wiki. Here's one, however, that does not.
Hebat, also transcribed Kheba or Khepat, was the mother goddess of the Hurrians, known as "the mother of all living". She is also a Queen of the gods.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

From Encyclopedia Britannica
And here is something on Hebat in Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible DDD who appears to be the same goddess. And another reference to Hebat in A Dictionary of Ancient Near Eastern Mythology.

On a side note, this would really be interesting as it might give us a clue regarding the ancient Hebrew understanding of the title given to Eve. Another connection would be that Abraham is thought to be from a Hurrian culture, thus providing a stronger connection. All quite interesting!-The universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great machine.

The same info, generally speaking, is found in:
Gernot Wilhelm, "The Hurrians"
Oliver Gurney, "The Hittites"
See also Ben H. L. van Gessel, "Onomasticon of the Hittite Pantheon" vol.1 pp.115-147 (lists occurrences & readings of the name, and lists cult centres.)
