Why was Ashera, the wife of YHVH (God) censored and deleted from the Bible ?
Does anyone know ?
Ashera: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asherah
The ancient Hebrew word Israel comes from the words Ashera-EL.
The Divine Godess, the Mother of all Creation.
Significantly, Yahweh and Asherah were a consort pair in ancient Israel and Judah.
Israel does not mean “One who wrestles with God” … it means Ashera-EL. The Divine Mother Creator of the Universe.
Go on any Archaelogical dig in Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, and you will find these statues of Ashera-EL, she is everywhere….
There will never be Peace in Israel, until the temple of Ashera -EL is restored.

Her titles often include qdš "holy", or elat, ba'alat, or rabat, all meaning Lady or goddess, qnyt ỉlm, "creator of the gods."
Beside the obvious connections between goddesses who sometimes can't be distinguished, some scholars have found an early link between Asherah and Eve, based upon the coincidence of their common title as "the mother of all living" in Genesis 3:20 through the identification with the Hurrian mother goddess, Hebat.Olyan says Eve (hawwa) is an attested epithet of Tannit/Asherah in the first millennium BCE. Hebrew chwwh is related to Aramaic chwyh.
There is further speculation that the Shekhinah as a feminine aspect of Yahweh may be a cultural memory or devolution of Asherah. Another such aspect is seen in the feminine (grammatically or otherwise) treatment of the Holy Spirit or Sophia. (wisdom)
