∙ 8y agoArchaeologists and other scholars are gradually putting together a clear picture of ancient Israelite beliefs, sometimes by comparing biblical accounts of unnamed goddesses with the archaeological record. The most prominent Israelite goddess in The Bible has been identified as Asherah.
In post-Exilic times, Wisdom might have been worshipped as a goddess, or simply revered as a semi-goddess - she appears in the post-Exilic Book of Proverbs and in Luke, among others. Wisdom might have been the pre-Exilic goddess of wisdom, or an re-invention of Asherah, who was no longer welcome in post-Exilic Judah.
Other early goddesses were Ashtoreth and Astarte. The most difficult to identify is the "Queen of Heaven" (Jeremiah 7:18; 44:17-25), who is variously associated with several goddesses, with no clear consensus.
