Strong's Lexicon Bealoth: Bealoth Original Word: בְּעָלוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בַּעַל (ba'al), meaning "lord" or "master." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Bealoth, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of "lord" or "master" in Greek is often represented by κύριος (kyrios), Strong's Greek #2962. Usage: Bealoth is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a town in the southern part of the territory of Judah. The name itself suggests a connection to the Canaanite deity Baal, as it shares the same root, indicating a possible historical or cultural significance related to worship or ownership. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, place names often reflected the religious or cultural practices of the inhabitants. The root "ba'al" was commonly associated with the Canaanite god Baal, a deity worshiped in various forms across the region. The presence of a town named Bealoth in Judah's territory may indicate historical interactions or influences between the Israelites and the Canaanite peoples. The Israelites were often warned against adopting the idolatrous practices of their neighbors, and the name Bealoth serves as a reminder of the cultural and religious challenges they faced.
