Grove. The translation, except in Genesis 21:33 A. V. (the R. V. reads "tamarisk tree)," of the Hebrew word asherah; but since asherah is an idol or an idolatrous pillar—an image of Astarte, and not a "grove," the A. V. is misleading, as in 1 Kings 18:19; 2 Kings 13:6, and other places, where the R. V. transfers the Hebrew word and reads "Asherah."
