Strong's Lexicon Qiryath Baal: Kiriath Baal Original Word: קַרְיַת בַּעַל Word Origin: Derived from קִרְיָה (qiryah, meaning "city") and בַּעַל (Baal, a Canaanite deity) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Kiriath Baal, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the Greek term for "city" is πόλις (polis), which is used in the Septuagint to translate similar Hebrew terms. Usage: Kiriath Baal, meaning "City of Baal," is a location mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a city within the territory of the tribe of Judah. The name reflects the Canaanite influence in the region, as Baal was a prominent deity worshiped by the Canaanites. Cultural and Historical Background: Kiriath Baal, also known as Kiriath Jearim, was a significant city in ancient Israel. It was located on the border between the tribes of Judah and Benjamin. The city is historically important as it was one of the resting places of the Ark of the Covenant before it was moved to Jerusalem by King David. The name "Baal" in the city's title indicates the syncretism and religious challenges faced by the Israelites, as they were often tempted to adopt the worship practices of the surrounding Canaanite culture.
