The Priestly Asherah
It is proposed that the priestly story of Aaron's flowering staff (Num 17:16-26) is an etiology for the asherah in Solomon's temple (2 Kgs 21:3, 7; 23:4, 6, 7). The staff as described is closely similar both in form and in function to the asherah. This proposition accounts for the absence...
