ત્યારે નગરના લોકોએ યોઆશને કહ્યું, “તારા દીકરાને બહાર લાવ કે જેથી તે માર્યો જાય, કેમ કે તેણે બઆલની યજ્ઞવેદી તોડી પાડી છે અને અશેરા મૂર્તિ કાપી નાખી છે.”
हिन्दीन्यायियों ६:३०
तब नगर के मनुष्यों ने योआश से कहा, “अपने पुत्र को बाहर ले आ, कि मार डाला जाए, क्योंकि उसने बाल की वेदी को गिरा दिया है, और उसके पास की अशेरा को भी काट डाला है।”

In context

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.”

31Joash said to all who stood against him, “Will you contend for Baal? Or will you save him? He who will contend for him, let him be put to death by morning! If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has broken down his altar!”

32Therefore on that day he named him Jerub-Baal, saying, “Let Baal contend against him, because he has broken down his altar.”
