In particular, the discovery of inscriptions appealing for blessings from ‘Yahweh and his Asherah’ at Kuntillet ‘Ajrud and Khirbet el-Qom, dated to the mid-late eighth century BCE, has confirmed for many the existence of Asherah worship along- side that of Yahweh.8
Ancient West Asian deities were inherently unbounded, but in ways at odds with the forms of divine transcendency particularly privileged of the ‘God’ of the Hebrew Bible, which oten resist or reject notions of divine plurality, corporeality, and materiality in favour of a portrait of an aniconic, solitary, immaterial, and exclusive deity.51 Although Yahweh’s biblical imaging as warrior, parent, and perpetuator of fertility oten bears striking similarities to goddess tropes elsewhere, these shared motifs more plausibly serve as biblical claims of divine exclusivity, rather than remnants of appropriated function. hus, just as it is perhaps too hasty to cite models of assimilation or appropriation to account for either fertil- ity or ‘femininity’ in depictions of Yahweh, so too it is uncritical to assume divine sex and gender were ixed or dichotomous. he goddesses of the southern Levant were as complex and as varied in role and function as their ‘male’ counterparts.

Jacob wrestled Yahweh!!
Enki digs ditches with his penis!!
Penis size bragging by Gods was a huge deal in West Asia....
footprints—each more than 3 feet long. Two footprints appear on the first slab and one left footprint on the second, as if some giant had paused at the entryway before striding into the building. In ancient conception the temple was the abode of the god, which is why these have been interpreted as the footprints of the resident god—or goddess, as we shall see.
The mountain god, too, has a connection with the goddess Ishtar, who, in some incarnations, takes this deity as her lover. This lends further support to the excavator’s suggestion that the temple was dedicated to Ishtar.
So Solomon's Temple was modeled on a Temple to Ishtar!!

Yahweh was the son of El, so he must have been born or came into existence after El.
El was considered to have huge junk and the goddesses buckled to his fertility power....
Maimonides claimed God has no physical form, which he based on the thought of Plato and Aristotle, many Rabbis disputed this and used various Biblical passages to show that God does have a physical form.
Adam "Knew" his wife Eve - the Hebrew accurately says, "I have procreated a man (adam) with Yahweh" - Wow - Eve CREATED ADAM from having sex with Yahweh....
The Standing Stones that Jacob erects at Bethel in Genesis were also the Messiah as the Anointed Ones! Cool.
CAinites, early Christian sect and Yahweh
Ancient DNA science now shows the Neolithic farmers were patriarchal when spreading into Europe also - so makes sense. For example the Yamnaya steppe "invasion" of Europe actually spread their females into the Corded Ware farmers in Europe already. The farmers also massacred the hunter-gatherers of Europe - similarly to what is happening to the pastoralists in West Asia. Plow-based patriarchy is worldwide.
Yahweh cradled Jacob so closely that Yahweh could see his reflection in the eyes of Jacob.... Deuteronomy.
the Goddess Wisdom comes from the mouth of Yahweh - much like Egyptian birth of goddess
