GROVE - G>@ - A word used in the Authorized Version, with two exceptions, to translate the mysterious Hebrew term Asherah , which is not a grove, but probably an idol or image of some kind. ASHERAH It is also probable that there was a connection between this symbol or image, whatever it was, and the sacred symbolic tree, the representation of which occurs so frequently on Assyrian sculptures. The two exceptions noticed above are kjv@Genesis:21:33) and kjv@1Samuel:22:6 (margin). In the religions of the ancient heathen world groves play a prominent part. In the old times altars only were erected to the gods. It was thought wrong to shut up the gods within walls, and hence trees were the first temples; and from the earliest times groves are mentioned in connection with religious worship. kjv@Genesis:12:6-7 kjv@Genesis:11:30) Authorized Version "plain." the groves were generally found connected with temples, and often had the right of affording an asylum.

(1.) Heb. 'asherah, properly a wooden image, or a pillar representing Ashtoreth, a sensual Canaanitish goddess, probably usually set up in a grove ( kjv@2Kings:21:7 kjv@2Kings:23:4). In the Revised Version the word "Asherah" (q.v.) is introduced as a proper noun, the name of the wooden symbol of a goddess, with the plurals Asherim kjv@Exodus:34:13) and Asheroth kjv@Judges:3:13). The LXX. have rendered asherah in kjv@2Chronicals:15:16 by "Astarte." The Vulgate has done this also in kjv@Judges:3:7.

(2.) Heb. 'eshel kjv@Genesis:21:33). In kjv@1Samuel:22:6 and 31:13 the Authorized Version renders this word by "tree." In all these passages the Revised Version renders by "tamarisk tree." It has been identified with the Tamariscus orientalis, five species of which are found in Palestine.

(3.) The Heb. word 'elon, uniformly rendered in the Authorized Version by "plain," properly signifies a grove or plantation. In the Revised Version it is rendered, pl., "oaks" kjv@Genesis:13:18 kjv@Genesis:14:13 kjv@Genesis:18:1 ; 12:6; kjv@Deuteronomy:11:30; kjv@Joshua:19:33). In the earliest times groves are mentioned in connection with religious worship. The heathen consecrated groves to particular gods, and for this reason they were forbidden to the Jews kjv@Jeremiah:17:3; kjv@Ezekiel:20:28).
