Strong's Lexicon Baal Tsephon: Baal Zephon Original Word: בַּעַל צְפוֹן Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Ba`al Tsphown Pronunciation: bah'-al tseh-fone' Phonetic Spelling: (bah'-al tsef-one') Definition: Baal-Tsephon Meaning: "Baal of the North" or "Lord of the North." It refers to a location named after a deity associated with the north. Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּעַל (Baal) meaning "lord" or "master" and צְפוֹן (Tsephon) meaning "north" or "hidden." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Baal-Tsephon in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location. However, related Greek terms might include those associated with geographical locations or deities, but none directly correspond to this Hebrew term. Usage: Baal-Tsephon is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific location. It is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Context: Baal-Tsephon is a geographical location mentioned in the Book of Exodus. It is one of the places where the Israelites camped during their exodus from Egypt. The site is described as being near the Red Sea, opposite Pi-hahiroth, and near Migdol. The name suggests a connection to a Canaanite deity, Baal, who was often associated with weather and storms, and the term "Tsephon" indicates a northern or hidden aspect. In Exodus 14:2, the LORD instructs Moses to have the Israelites encamp by the sea, opposite Baal-Tsephon, as part of the divine plan to demonstrate His power over Pharaoh and the Egyptian gods. The location plays a significant role in the narrative of the parting of the Red Sea, where God delivers the Israelites from the pursuing Egyptian army. The exact historical and geographical identification of Baal-Tsephon remains uncertain, but it is traditionally considered to be in the northeastern region of the Nile Delta.
