| Résumé: | There appear to be, in Hosea, traces of the “unspeakable”, part of the text's very being, albeit its underside, relating to stories of Baal and his female partners. If Asherah was part of the Israelite religious world, then religious images which may have been associated with a feminine image of deity might be expected to retain this reference, even as they are re-used and adapted in new contexts for new tasks. It is possible that the attempt to suppress the image of female divinity has not been total and that the voice of the feminine will not remain “unspeakable” despite Hosea's efforts. |
