B-Haverim,

b-hebrew is a forum for discussing Biblical Hebrew, that is, the Hebrew of the Bible. We are not here to discuss Biblical history or archeology independently from Hebrew-related issues. Jim West has informed us that ANE is up and running again. That is a more appropriate forum for the post below.

Shalom,
Bryan Rocine

Actually, archeological work proves that the religious faith of Israel at
the time bore little resemblance to the Yahwism inflicted by Josiah's
pogrom.

For instance, there was a sacred pole or tree (which is known, I just don't
remember which) in the Temple.

And graffitti scrawled everywhere - in and out of Jerusalem - blessing
Yahweh and Ba'al and their jointly held wife, Asherah.
Yours,
