Pronunciation: bayth bah'-al meh-ohn'
Phonetic Spelling: (bayth bah'-al me-own')
Definition: Beth Baal Meon
Meaning: Beth-Baal-Meon

Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בֵּית (beth, meaning "house") and בַּעַל מְעוֹן (Baal Meon, meaning "Baal of the habitation" or "Baal of the dwelling").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Beth Baal Meon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name.

Usage: Beth Baal Meon is a place name in the Bible, referring to a town in the territory of Reuben, east of the Jordan River. The name suggests a location associated with the worship of Baal, a Canaanite deity.

Cultural and Historical Background: Beth Baal Meon was situated in the region of Moab, an area known for its interactions and conflicts with the Israelites. The name reflects the syncretism that often occurred in ancient Near Eastern cultures, where local deities like Baal were worshiped alongside or instead of the God of Israel. The town's association with Baal indicates the religious challenges faced by the Israelites in maintaining their covenantal faith amidst surrounding pagan influences.
