 | | Diane Edelman: Her name in Hebrew, is Asherah, and we know of her in these Biblical texts, but the way we came to notice her more fully was that her counterpart, Asherah, appears in other texts from other cultures as the wife of the main God of the Pantheon. |
 | | Asherah is gone, probably the other Gods in the Pantheon as well are all becoming absorbed into this deity whose name used to be Yahweh, but now he’s become Yahweh, the Goddest of the Gods. |
 | | So the references to Asherah were changed to make her no longer Asherah with a capital A, but some sort of an object, lower-case, the asherah, or an asherah. |
