ASHERAH
- A>@ - (straight), the name of a Phoenician goddess, or rather of the idol itself (Authorized Version "grove"). Asherah is closely connected with ASHTORETH and her worship, kjv@Judges:3:7) comp. Judg kjv@2:3; 6:25; 1Kin 18:19 Ashtoreth being, perhaps, the proper name of the goddess, whilst Asherah is the name of her image or symbol, which was of wood.
See kjv@Judges:6:25-30; kjv@2Kings:23:14)

Asherah @ and pl. Asherim in Revised Version, instead of "grove" and "groves" of the Authorized Version. This was the name of a sensual Canaanitish goddess Astarte, the feminine of the Assyrian Ishtar. Its symbol was the stem of a tree deprived of its boughs, and rudely shaped into an image, and planted in the ground. Such religious symbols ("groves") are frequently alluded to in Scripture kjv@Exodus:34:13; kjv@Judges:6:25; kjv@2Kings:23:6; kjvKings:16:33, etc.). These images were also sometimes made of silver or of carved stone ( kjv@2Kings:21:7; "the graven image of Asherah," R.V.). (
See GROVE 1.).
