In Genesis 21:33 , a tree planted in Beersheba by Abraham. More than likely it was a tamarisk. The King James Version of the Bible also uses the word “grove” to translate the term “Asherah.” This was a wooden symbol of a female Canaanite deity. Yahweh repeatedly instructed the Israelites to pull down and destroy the Asherim (groves). See Asherah; Idols.
