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
