However, the Greek term "ἄλσος" (alsos), meaning "grove," is sometimes used in translations to convey a similar idea of sacred trees or groves.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>In the Hebrew Bible, "Asherah" refers to both a Canaanite goddess and the wooden cultic objects associated with her worship. These objects, often translated as "groves" in older English versions, were typically wooden poles or trees set up near altars dedicated to Baal and other deities. The term is used to denote idolatrous practices that were condemned by the Israelite prophets and leaders.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Asherah was a prominent goddess in the ancient Near Eastern pantheon, often associated with fertility, motherhood, and the sea. She was considered the consort of the chief god El and later Baal. Worship of Asherah was widespread among the Canaanites and influenced Israelite practices, leading to syncretism and idolatry. The presence of Asherah poles in Israelite worship sites was a recurring issue, as these objects symbolized the blending of Canaanite and Israelite religious practices, which was strictly forbidden by Yahweh's covenant with Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a Phoenician goddess, also an image of the same<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Asherah (18), Asherim (20), Asheroth (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">אֲשֵׁרָה</font>, <font class="hebrew2">אֲשֵׁירָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/17-16.htm">2 Kings 17:16</a> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>Ashera</b></font> (Assyrian proper name, feminine <em>Aš-ra-tu</em>, with sign for deity, in Canaanitish proper name <em>Abad-Ašratum, servant of A.</em> Schr<sup>ZA 1888, 363</sup>, compare Wkl & Abel<sup>Thontafelfund</sup> see El Amarna ii.
