| 92 | Athirat/Asherah | Canaanite/Ugaritic | received_as | Sophia/Wisdom | Israelite/Second Temple | low | Contested scholarly hypothesis: Asherah (consort of El at Ugarit) suppressed by Deuteronomistic reforms may have been sublimated into the figure of Sophia/Wisdom as El's companion in Proverbs 8:22–31 ("beside him, like a master workman"). Both occupy the consort-of-the-high-god position. Scholars including Schäfer and Hadley have proposed the connection; DDD_BIBLE s.v. "Asherah" reviews the hypothesis without firm resolution. Low confidence: the sublimation is plausible but unverifiable from primary texts. | SRC_DDD_BIBLE |
