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

Usage: Baal Tsephon refers to a location named after a deity, Baal, associated with the north or hidden places. In the biblical context, it is a geographical site near the Red Sea where the Israelites camped during the Exodus.

Cultural and Historical Background: Baal Tsephon was likely named after a Canaanite or Egyptian deity, reflecting the syncretism prevalent in the ancient Near East. Baal was a common name for gods in the region, often associated with weather, fertility, and maritime activities. The location of Baal Tsephon was strategically significant, as it was near the Red Sea, serving as a landmark during the Israelites' escape from Egypt.
