Thank you, Jack. But if the picture at 
http://www.bibleorigins.net/KuntilletAjrudYahwehAsherah.html is of 
Yahweh and his wife, why are both figures so obviously male? Well, the 
second one may have breasts as well as a male organ, but is this normal 
for Asherah?

And since when is a final HE in an inscription "in Hebrew" translated as 
"his" rather than "her"?
