Strong's Lexicon Baal Meon: Baal Meon Original Word: בַּעַל מְעוֹן Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּעַל (Baal, meaning "lord" or "master") and מְעוֹן (Meon, meaning "habitation" or "dwelling"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Baal Meon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Baal Meon is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a town or settlement. The name suggests a "lord of the dwelling" or "lord of the habitation," indicating a place that may have been associated with the worship of Baal, a common deity in the region. Cultural and Historical Background: Baal Meon was located in the territory east of the Jordan River, in the region historically inhabited by the tribe of Reuben. This area was part of the land conquered by the Israelites under Moses and later settled by the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh. The name reflects the syncretistic religious practices of the time, where local deities like Baal were often worshipped alongside or instead of Yahweh.
