Judges 2:11-13
Evangelical Heritage Version
11 The people of Israel committed evil in the eyes of the Lord. They served the Baals, 12 and they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt. They went after other gods from among the gods of the peoples who were around them. They bowed down to them, and they angered the Lord. 13 They abandoned the Lord and served the Baals and the Ashtartes.[a]

- Judges 2:13 Baal was the most worshipped god and Asherah the most worshipped goddess among the Canaanites. Ashtarte may originally have been a different goddess, but often she seems to be interchangeable with Asherah. The names of Baal and Ashtarte are plural because Baal and Asherah/Ashtarte had many local forms and local shrines.
