Happened between 1500 and 500 BCE, and there is evidence the bible has been edited although it does not explicitly say it was done by monotheistic reformers it could be inferred as reasonably true.

While it is true that almost all household possessed the figurine I do not think this directly points to Asherah worship since most scholars mentioned were hesitant to put a name to them.

I found a reputable source that dives into meaning of these pillar figurines. https://www.worldhistory.org/Judean_Pillar_Figurines/ It lists multiple reputable scholars instead of just broadly saying "some people think" or "scholars theorize" like in this essay. The main consensus I gathered seems to be that they were cultish objects that women used specifically for fertility. They were said to be earlier plaque representations of females or other goddesses that were more commonly found in Canaanite mythology.

What exactly does it mean by "ordinary Israelites" and what factors contribute to someone being ordinary? What were non-ordinary people saying about the fact that God may have had a wife? This essay also feels very biased as for example most argumentative essays would have a counter paragraph to help argue against their point and make their opinion seem fairer and more contextual. This essay writes like there is no doubt about Asherah being real, but says it's one of the most intriguing debates today without mentioning view from the other side?? Seems a little sus to me tbh.

"most scholars" is a very encompassing term however it gives no statistic or specification on what kind of scholars are agreeing with this statement. Not sure this is true without more evidence :/.

Looks to be true but the websites depicting this are kinda sketchy. Only has .com websites with info. https://goddessasherah.com/ https://larshaukeland.com/bits-pieces/archeology/2-chronicles/devotion-to-asherah-in-the-khirbet-el-qom-inscription-2-chronicles-15/

It might depict God and Bes as two male Gods instead of God and his "wife".
