Asherah:
(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 (Judges 3:7; compare Judges 2:3;; 6:25;; 1 Kings 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 Judges 6:25-30; 2 Kings 23:14). SEE [ASHTORETH].
