Usage: Baale-Bamoth is a proper noun used to refer to a specific location mentioned in the Old Testament.

Context: Baale-Bamoth is a location referenced in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. It is mentioned in Numbers 22:41, where it is described as a place from which Balak, the king of Moab, took Balaam to view the Israelites. The name itself suggests a place associated with high places, which were often sites of worship or religious significance in ancient Near Eastern cultures. The term "Baale" indicates a plurality of "lords" or "owners," possibly referring to multiple deities or significant figures associated with these high places. The location is part of the narrative involving Balaam, a prophet who was summoned by Balak to curse the Israelites. The high places were often seen as vantage points or places of spiritual significance, and Baale-Bamoth fits this description as a site from which the vast encampment of Israel could be observed.
