Were there any female priests in the temple?

The question is not concerning deities of other false religions of the Old Testament I do believe that they are referring to the one and only true Living God and the temple of God in the Old Testament and during the Old Testament times specifically that Temple... not the deities or the false religions of astaroth Etc

Yes there were many deities and false religions throughout the Old Testament and evidence of that even mingled with some of the great kings in the past for instance Solomon... But that happened solely because he did not follow God completely when it comes to not marrying other women outside of the faith. It was warned and has been warned in the Old Testament that you should not marry outside the faith and when I say outside the faith I'm talking about the true Living God cuz there's only one.. because marrying someone outside the faith would of course lead them to begin worshipping false religions because there were a lot of people of different religious backgrounds and cultures and tribes that were living amongst them at that time as well. I want to say the answer is no.

I don't believe that a woman was allowed to go into the Temple of the Lord. There was a court yard or rather the outside Court but we're talking about into the temple. Remember in Second Kings with Queen Athalia who murdered all of her grandchildren because she wanted to take power in possession and she saw that her son Ahaziah was killed and her grandson joash of one-year-old was hidden with his nursemaid and the Temple of the Lord for six years until he was crowned King. And she hearing all of this from the people entered into the Temple of the Lord

Were there female priests in the temple in Jerusalem at any time? Definitely, Yes!

Certainly the ‘priestly code’ of early Judaism assigned the duties associated with the korbanot (‘sacrifical offerings’) only to the kohanim (‘priests’) who were specifically sons of Aaron (Ex.40:13-15). The priestly function also included other temple responsibilities, including singing and instrumental music, giving blessings, and (during a later period) prayer and reading the Torah. Although Jewish women were not allowed to be priests, evidence suggests women were involved in some of these ancillary functions – especially prophesy, music and dancing – and also provided leadership in synagogues of the Diaspora.

But Judiasm was not the only religion practiced in Jerusalem's temples. Solomon’s temple stood for centuries during a period of intense religious conflict and development. In fact, biblical history is full of stories about the Israelite and Judahite people practicing Canaanite religions in the temple in Jerusalem. Among these was the religion of Asherah, the most popular goddess of the ancient Middle East.

Archaeological evidence suggests goddess folk religions flourished in Israel and Judah – beside, and at times in conjunction with, the religion of Yahweh – from the 10th to the 6th centuries BCE. Asherah’s ‘holy ones’ (qadesh and qĕdeshah) are often described as male and female priests. According to the Bible, an Asherah symbol stood in Solomon’s temple for about half of its roughly 400 years. Asherah’s ‘holy ones’ lived inside the temple: while their houses were razed during periodic ‘reforms’, the Bible also suggests the priests offered sacrifices, burned incense, and engaged in cultic prostitution inside the temple precinct (2Ki.23). Attempts to eradicate the worship of Asherah and her offspring (according to Canaanite mythology) were made by Gideon, Asa, Jehoshaphat, Hezekiah and Josiah (Ex.34:13-14; Dt.7:5; Jg.6:25-30; 1Ki.15:13; 2Ki.18:4, 21:7, 23:4,7; 2Ch.15:16, 19:3, 33:3,19, 34:3,7).

The reforms of Judah’s King Josiah, though undone by kings after him, were described as being especially thorough, particularly his cleansing of the temples in Jerusalem and Bethel of their Asherah priests and cult paraphernalia:

“Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest and the priests of the second order and the doorkeepers, to bring out of the temple of the Lord all the vessels that were made for Baal, for Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and he burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron, and carried their ashes to Bethel. He did away with the idolatrous priests whom the kings of Judah had appointed to burn incense in the high places in the cities of Judah and in the surrounding area of Jerusalem, also those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and to the moon and to the constellations and to all the host of heaven. He brought out the Asherah from the house of the Lord outside Jerusalem to the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and ground it to dust, and threw its dust on the graves of the common people. He also broke down the houses of the male [‘holy ones’] which were in the house of the Lord, where the women were weaving hangings for the Asherah... All the priests of the high places who were there he slaughtered on the altars and burned human bones on them.” (2 Kings 23:4-7, 20)

The broad consensus of scholars is that the Deuteronomistic history telling the story of the eventual victory of Yahwistic monotheism over polytheism in Israel/Judah was probably composed in Jerusalem during this time, the late 7th century BCE. The Torah and its levitical proscriptions defining the priestly function and proper Yahwistic worship was written over the next centuries. Both drew on earlier traditions, and together these formed the basis of a new monotheistic religion, Judaism, which was instituted in Jerusalem on the return from Babylonian exile (c.530 BCE).

While Asherah’s cult continued in diminishing form in the surrounding provinces, there is no evidence of it in Judea proper after the 6th century.

The long and bitter rivalry between the cults of Yahweh and Asherah may actually have influenced the limits placed on women in Judaism. Woman were allowed into the Second Temple past the soreg – the stone wall separating the public area from the inner sanctuary where only Jews could enter – but they were restricted to the large Court of Women reserved for women and ritually unclean men. Only ‘clean’ men were allowed up the steps to the Court of the Israelites from which they could observe the sacrifices being offered by the priests. After the establishment of Judaism in Jerusalem, the temple priests were always male, unlike the centuries of religious rivalry before.
