חָטָאנוּ כִּי עָזַבְנוּ אֶת יְהֹוָה וַנַּעֲבֹד אֶת הַבְּעָלִים וְאֶת הָעַשְׁתָּרוֹת
Ba'al and Astarte were idols which were worshiped by the neighbors of Israel.
The word Ba'al means "master" or "husband" and this idol was often made in the image of a male figure exhibiting power. There were many types of Ba'al Gods.
Astarte was a female God who represented the productive power of nature. The coin on the right below is thought to show Astarte sitting in a wagon.
