Redirection from 'Ashara' not without problems

The redirection from 'Ashara' is not without problems, as Ashara (also Asherah) was the wife of YHWH ("Jahve", later to become the Christian god). See eg. the 3,000 year old inscriptions (“YHWH and his Asherah”, “Yahweh of Teman and his Asherah” and “Yahweh of Samaria and his Asherah”) in Kuntillat Ajrud on the Sinai Peninsula https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-a-strange-drawing-could-undermine-our-entire-idea-of-judaism-1.5973328 John.St (talk) 21:49, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
