Berean Strong's Lexicon Baal Chatsor: Baal Hazor Original Word: בַּעַל חָצוֹר Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּעַל (Baal, meaning "lord" or "master") and חָצוֹר (Chatsor, meaning "village" or "enclosure"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Baal Hazor, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of "Baal" as a lord or master can be loosely related to Greek terms like κύριος (kyrios), meaning "lord." Usage: Baal Hazor is a geographical location mentioned in the Bible. The name can be translated as "Lord of Hazor" or "Possessor of the Village." It is known as a place where significant events occurred, particularly in the context of the narrative of Absalom. Cultural and Historical Background: Baal Hazor is located near Ephraim, north of Jerusalem. In ancient Israel, places often bore the name "Baal" to denote a local deity or lord, though in this context, it is more likely a reference to the location's significance or ownership. The site is historically significant as it was the location of Absalom's sheep-shearing event, which he used as a pretext to orchestrate the murder of his brother Amnon, as part of his revenge for the violation of their sister Tamar.
