A very good post, because language is a communication tool that is needed by all people in the world.

When the people of Israel were dispersed, the oral Hebrew was still taught but was influenced by the cultures among whom they were living. When I began my studies, I found teachers who all seemed to have a tint of where they had learned from. You could say that they had an 'accent' in the way they read during class.

You mean like when they were living among the jebusite? Ammonite? Cannanite? Were they influenced also by their way of life?

It has been a while since I was in that part of the Bible. I thought they were supposed to take over those peoples and break the idols.

There are so many examples of Israel mixing and intermarrying with other peoples after being warned against it.

On many Archaeological sites in Israel they are finding small "Asherah" statues - in almost every home. So yes this Canaanite Female Goddess was difficult to purge from the idols that existed in this part of the World. However there are references in the Zohar that compare Ashera to Shekhinah - the Feminine aspect of the One True God. More study is needed. https://www.biblicalarchaeology.org/daily/ancient-cultures/ancient-israel/asherah-and-the-asherim-goddess-or-cult-symbol/....

Asherah or asherim refer to more than just the person of the deity. These terms are often, especially in the Biblical texts, used for consecrated poles. These poles represent living trees, with which the goddess is associated. Some scholars believe that asherim were not poles, but living trees (like the one depicted on the Tanaach Cult Stand). The poles were either carved to look like trees or to resemble the goddess (this could also be reflected in the numerous pillar figurines found throughout Israel). Remains of these poles are determined by postholes and rotted timber, which resulted in differently hued soil. There is great debate as to whether the cult symbol lost its ties to Asherah (and became a religious symbol on its own without the worshippers knowing anything about the goddess who originated it) or is seen as a representation of Asherah herself (similar to the way the cross is a representation of Jesus to Christians).
The relationship between Asherah and Israel is a complicated one.4 Does the text refer to the goddess or her symbol?5 Jeroboam and Rehoboam fostered Asherah worship (1 Kings 14:15, 23). Worship of Asherah was highly encouraged by Jezebel, with the presence of 400 prophets who held a place in the court of her husband King Ahab (1 Kings 18:19). Worship of Asherah is given as a reason for deportation (2 Kings 17:10,16). Attempts to eradicate the worship were made by Asa, Josiah, Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah and Gideon (Exodus 34:13-14; Deuteronomy 7:5; Judges 6:25-30; 1 Kings 15:13/2 Chronicles 15:16; 2 Kings 23:4,7/2 Chronicles 34:3,7; 2 Kings 21:7/2 Chronicles 33:3,19; 2 Chronicles 19:3; 2 Kings 18:4). However, devotion to the cult symbol remained (Isaiah 27:9; Jeremiah 17:1; Micah 5:14). It is particularly interesting that objections to Asherah are found mostly in Deuteronomistic literature, rather than in the prophets. In both cases, the authors are much more concerned about the worship of Baal rather than Asherah.
