no. jahweh is a mythological figure. the people in charge wanted to end their pantheistic practises and instead focus solely on monotheism so started banning practises of pantheism within their community which included the worship of asherah that early israelites took part in.  literally just the fact they tore down the poles shows evidence that the jews were worshipping asherah at the time. or you can look to king's 21:7 where king mannassh of judah sets up an image of asherah in the temple of jahweh, not to mention the countless inscriptions an figurines found within early israelite settlements that depict asherah as an object or worship.
