Βεωρ, Numbers 22:5; Numbers 31:8; Deuteronomy 23:4; by change of 'ayin ע into sigma ς', Βοσόρ), Bosor, the father of Balaam: 2 Peter 2:15 (WH text Βεωρ). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The Greek word Βοσόρ is a transliteration of the Hebrew name בְּצוֹר (Betsor).Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H1160 בְּעוֹר (Beor): The Hebrew name for Balaam's father, which is more commonly used in the Old Testament. Usage: The name Bosor appears in the New Testament in 2 Peter 2:15, where it is used to identify Balaam as "the son of Bosor." Context: Bosor is mentioned in the New Testament in the context of a warning against false teachers and prophets. In 2 Peter 2:15, the apostle Peter refers to Balaam, the son of Bosor, as an example of someone who loved the wages of wickedness. Balaam is a well-known figure from the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Numbers (chapters 22-24), where he is hired by Balak, the king of Moab, to curse the Israelites. However, God intervenes, and Balaam ends up blessing Israel instead. Despite this, Balaam's legacy is marred by his later actions, which led the Israelites into sin (Numbers 31:16). The reference to Bosor in 2 Peter serves to highlight the dangers of greed and the consequences of straying from God's path. The use of the name Bosor instead of the more common Hebrew form Beor (בְּעוֹר) may be attributed to transliteration variations or textual traditions.
