Berean Strong's Lexicon Beth Peor: Beth Peor Original Word: בֵּית פְּעוֹר Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּיִת (bayith) meaning "house" and פְּעוֹר (Peor), a Moabite deity. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Beth Peor, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, related concepts of idolatry and apostasy can be found in Greek terms such as εἰδωλολατρία (eidololatria - idolatry). Usage: Beth Peor means "house of Peor." It is a location associated with the worship of the Moabite god Peor. The site is significant in biblical narratives as a place of idolatry and apostasy. Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Peor is located in the region of Moab, east of the Jordan River. It is historically significant as a site where the Israelites fell into idolatry and immorality with the Moabites, leading to God's judgment. The worship of Peor involved licentious rites, which were a direct violation of the covenantal laws given to Israel.
