Abstract

We tend to think of the hebrew tradition as one of solid monotheism and a consistent worship of a male God named Yahweh (or sometimes El). Many people know about the Bible story where Moses was angry with the hebrew people on their way out of captivity in Egypt because they built a golden calf to worship (associated with the Egyptian cow Goddesses Hathor and Bat) while Moses was receiving the Ten Commandments from God on Mt. Sinai (Exodus 32:1-35). Little is said about goddess worship in the hebrew tradition after that incident in most writings, and many appear to assume this was the only lapse and that the hebrew culture was monotheistic after Moses warned the people and brought back the first commandment that they should worship only Yahweh.
