સવારમાં જયારે નગરના પુરુષો ઊઠ્યા ત્યારે તેઓએ જોયું કે, બઆલની યજ્ઞવેદી તોડી પાડેલી હતી તેની પાસેની અશેરા મૂર્તિ કાપી નાખેલી હતી તથા બાંધેલી નવી યજ્ઞવેદી પર બીજા શ્રેષ્ઠ બળદનું દહનીયાપર્ણ કરેલું હતું.
हिन्दीन्यायियों ६:२८
नगर के लोग सवेरे उठकर क्या देखते हैं, कि बाल की वेदी गिरी पड़ी है, और उसके पास की अशेरा कटी पड़ी है, और दूसरा बैल बनाई हुई वेदी पर चढ़ाया हुआ है।

In context

26Then build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of this stronghold, in an orderly way, and take the second bull, and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah which you shall cut down.”

27Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as the LORD had spoken to him. Because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city, he could not do it by day, but he did it by night.

28When the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was broken down, and the Asherah was cut down that was by it, and the second bull was offered on the altar that was built.

29They said to one another, “Who has done this thing?” When they inquired and asked, they said, “Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.”

30Then the men of the city said to Joash, “Bring out your son, that he may die, because he has broken down the altar of Baal, and because he has cut down the Asherah that was by it.”
