Is the word Venus mentioned in the Bible?
The English word, Venus, is not mentioned in the Bible. Venus was the Roman goddess associated with the planet, but variants of the name were used in other languages. The variant Ashtoreth (or Asherah) and other variants, depending in part on the translator, are mentioned in the Bible. Asherah is believed to have been the goddess of the planet Venus and of fertility.The Greek name for Venus rising before down is phosphoros and in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) version of Isaiah 14:12 they translated the Hebrew shakhar to phosphoros. So it appears that some writers of the Hebrew Bible referred to Venus as shakhar. In the early Mesopotamian literature the goddess Inanna is associated with the Planet Venus. They also referred to it as Queen of Heaven, and that is the term used by the Prophet Jeremiah (7:18, 44:17-25).
