Strong's Lexicon beel: Lord, Master, Baal Original Word: בְּעֵל Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: b`el Pronunciation: beh-ale Phonetic Spelling: (beh-ale') Definition: a master, a husband Meaning: The term בְּעֵל (be‘el) is used to denote a "master" or "husband." Word Origin: Derived from a root corresponding to בַּעַל (ba‘al), which means "lord" or "master." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent terms that convey similar meanings of "master" or "lord" include: • G2962: κύριος (kyrios) – often translated as "lord" or "master," used extensively in the New Testament to refer to God or Jesus as Lord. • G435: ἀνήρ (anēr) – meaning "man" or "husband," used in contexts that denote authority or relational roles. These Greek terms reflect similar concepts of authority and relational dynamics as found in the Aramaic בְּעֵל. Usage: This Aramaic term appears in the context of describing a person who holds authority or ownership, akin to a husband or master. It is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament. Context: The term בְּעֵל (be‘el) is found in the Aramaic sections of the Old Testament, specifically in the books of Daniel and Ezra. It is used to describe a figure of authority or ownership, similar to the Hebrew בַּעַל (ba‘al). In the context of the ancient Near East, the term could refer to a husband, indicating a relationship of authority and responsibility. The usage of בְּעֵל in the Aramaic texts reflects the cultural and linguistic influences of the Babylonian and Persian periods, where Aramaic was a common language of administration and communication. The term underscores the societal structures of the time, where the roles of master and husband were intertwined with notions of leadership and provision.
