Naked Bible 453: 1 Samuel 7
The Naked Bible Podcast
Is There a Syncretistic Form of Yahweh?
Lamehir: If Yahweh replaced El, it would seem logical to suppose that under Canaanite influence, Asherah replaced Atherat. Lamehir says interpreting Asherah as a sacred tree or grove conforms very well with what we know generally about the cultic places of the ancient Near East. The references to Asherah associated with Baal could point in the direction of an As Herah as being a goddess, an actual goddess. JED Pierth has that date he's talking about as the late 8 century BC.
