- Judges 2:11 Baals: lords, the gods of the country (2 Ki 17:24-33). “Baal and the Astartes” (often in the plural) is the designation frequently used in the Old Testament for the Canaanite divinities, Baal being the masculine, and Astarte, the goddess of love and fruitfulness; the name of the latter is often replaced by the Hebrew word asherah, meaning a pole (see Jdg 3:7; Ex 34:13).
