Essay su Deuteronomio 16:21
לֹֽא־תִטַּ֥ע לְךָ֛ אֲשֵׁרָ֖ה כָּל־עֵ֑ץ אֵ֗צֶל מִזְבַּ֛ח יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעֲשֶׂה־לָּֽךְ׃ (ס)
Non piantarti un Asherah di alcun tipo di albero accanto all'altare dell'Eterno, il tuo DIO, che ti farai.
The Five Books of Moses, by Everett Fox
The destruction of pagan shrines is once again demanded. Both the Ashera and the “standing-stone” were connected to the theme of fertility, which in Canaanite worship was related to the gods’ generative power. Israelite thought, on the other hand, attributed fertility to a non- or meta-sexual God.
