Astaroth in the Bible

Some scholars claim that this character was originally Asherah. Ishtar, Athihirat known as the mother of all gods and was worshiped in Mesopotamia, Babylon and at some point in ancient Egypt.

However, in the Bible the name Astaroth is attributed to him, a transcription that was allegedly altered by adding some vowels from the term of Hebrew origin. boset which means shame.

Apparently this type of variations in the transcriptions were very common, it was considered a custom of the rabbis, with the intention of reducing prestige and associating the divinities of other beliefs and cults with evil, dark and impure acts.

This character is mentioned in the Bible of Hebrew origin as Ashtoreth to speak of the singular form and Ashtaroth in the plural, when it was indicated that they were several images or statues.

This last form was the one that was carried or represented in the ancient Greek and Latin translations of the Bible, without realizing that it was the way to refer to it in the plural.

In the so-called Testament of Solomon from the beginning of the century and which is attributed to the king of Israel who bore this name, Asteraoth is named, describing him as an angelic being who opposes the devil.

However, it is worth remembering that even though this text is associated with the Old Testament, it is not seen or considered as one of the scriptures by Jews and Christians.

The cult and adoration of this goddess was also common among the inhabitants of Canaan, an area neighboring Israel, which is why some areas of this country also venerated her.

In the Bible there is reference to this cult, indicating that she was called the Queen of heaven (Jeremiah 44,17). Basically the festivities and celebrations included bonfires, the preparation of dishes and the sacramental cake that imitated her appearance.

In addition, religious rituals were carried out where drinks offered in their honor were poured on the altars or the ground, and incense was lit for good fortune.

This type of cult was carried out for long periods of time in different areas, and over time it became the same as other cults, surrounded by commercial and religious interests.

However, it was losing strength, until its total disappearance, since the Bible warned that Yahweh did not like them and indicated to Solomon that this type of customs would bring misfortunes, calamities and havoc to the next generations of Israel (1 Kings 11:1-12,33).

In later times with the different reforms and changes, especially that of Josiah known as the last good King of the Israelites, this cult disappeared.
