Berean Strong's Lexicon Baal Peratsim: "Lord of the Breakthroughs" or "Master of Breakthroughs" Original Word: בַּעַל פְּרָצִים Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּעַל (Baal), meaning "lord" or "master," and פֶּרֶץ (Perets), meaning "breach" or "bursting forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Baal Peratsim, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of divine breakthrough and victory can be related to Greek terms like νίκη (nikē, G3529), meaning "victory." Usage: Baal Peratsim is a place name used in the Bible to describe the location where King David defeated the Philistines. The name signifies the divine intervention and victory granted by God, as David attributed the breakthrough against his enemies to the LORD. It symbolizes God's power to break through obstacles and deliver His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, names of places often held significant meanings, reflecting events or characteristics associated with them. The term "Baal" was commonly used in Canaanite culture to denote a deity or lord, but in this context, it is used to describe the LORD's action in granting victory. The event at Baal Peratsim is a testament to the LORD's supremacy over the false gods of the surrounding nations and His ability to deliver His people from their adversaries.
