Naked Bible 453: 1 Samuel 7
The Naked Bible Podcast
Ashira
Ashira, spelled as it is in the Bible, ashira, is never found in extra biblical texts of the monarchy in Israel. Some people have theorized that the association is phallic and it's an upright erect penis. If Israelites are bringing Canaanite religion over into their worship of Yahweh, it is conceivable that this could have had some phallic value. By no means is that the only view, it could have just been a simple tree. Others don't actually know what the ashara, the ashara were. So you have all these different guesses.
