Word Origin: Derived from three Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth, meaning "house"), בַּעל (ba'al, meaning "lord" or "master"), and מְעוֹן (meon, meaning "habitation" or "dwelling"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Beth-Baal-Meon, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical location in the Old Testament. Usage: Beth-Baal-Meon is a proper noun used to refer to a location, specifically a town or settlement. It is mentioned in the context of territorial boundaries and settlements in the Old Testament. Context: Beth-Baal-Meon, also known simply as Baal-Meon, is a town located in the territory allotted to the tribe of Reuben, east of the Jordan River. It is mentioned in the Bible in the context of the division of the land among the tribes of Israel. The town is referenced in Numbers 32:38, where the Reubenites rebuilt it, and in Joshua 13:17, where it is listed among the cities in the plains of Moab. The name suggests a connection to the Canaanite deity Baal, indicating that the town may have originally been a center of Baal worship before being occupied by the Israelites. The town is also mentioned in the prophetic literature, such as in Jeremiah 48:23, where it is included in the list of Moabite cities subject to judgment.
