There's no word which can be fairly directly or literally translated as "pole" in the original Hebrew of Deuteronomy 16:21, just the words "Asherah kol-`ets", which mean literally something like "(an) Asherah of any tree" or "(an) Asherah of any wood". AnonMoos 18:23, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Very true, but see reference to the Dictionary of Deities and Demons in The Bible entry currently in the article. ◄Zahakiel► 00:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
