Strong's Lexicon Baal Tamar: Baal Tamar Original Word: בַּעַל תָּמָר Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: "בעל" (Baal), meaning "lord" or "master," and "תמר" (Tamar), meaning "palm tree." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Baal Tamar, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of "Baal" as a lord or master can be related to Greek terms like "κύριος" (kyrios), meaning "lord." Usage: Baal Tamar is a place name mentioned in the Bible. The name can be understood as "Lord of the Palm Tree" or "Place of the Palm Tree." It is associated with a location where a significant biblical event took place. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, place names often held significant meanings and were sometimes associated with local deities or natural features. The use of "Baal" in place names does not necessarily indicate the worship of the Canaanite god Baal but can denote ownership or association with a notable feature, such as a palm tree in this case. Palm trees were common in the region and often symbolized prosperity and beauty.
