Strong's Lexicon Baal Hamon: Baal Hamon Original Word: בַּעַל הָמוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words "בעל" (Baal) meaning "lord" or "master" and "המון" (Hamon) meaning "multitude" or "abundance." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Baal Hamon, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of "abundance" or "multitude" can be related to Greek words like "πληθός" (plethos - G4128) meaning "multitude" or "abundance." Usage: Baal Hamon is a place name mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the Song of Solomon. The name can be translated as "lord of abundance" or "lord of a multitude," suggesting a location known for its fertility or wealth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes associated with the characteristics of a place. Baal Hamon, with its connotations of abundance, might have been a region known for its agricultural productivity or a place of economic significance. The use of "Baal" in the name reflects a common practice in the ancient Near East, where "Baal" was used as a title for various local deities or as a term for "lord" or "owner."
