Usage: Baal-Hermon is mentioned in the context of the territories inhabited by the Hivites and other Canaanite tribes during the period of Israel's conquest of the Promised Land.

Context: Baal-Hermon is a geographical location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the land distribution among the tribes of Israel. It is referenced in Judges 3:3, where it is listed among the regions left to test Israel. The name suggests a place where the Canaanite deity Baal was worshiped, located near or on Mount Hermon, a significant mountain in the northern part of ancient Israel.
