1. baal

   Baal is a term that originates from the ancient Semitic languages which generally means "lord" or "master". However, in different historical and religious contexts, it refers to various gods, idols, or even human officials. In the Hebrew Bible, 'Baal' is used to refer to various Canaanite gods, often viewed negatively due to ancient Israel's struggles against Canaanite religion. The term later became associated with false gods and idolatry in Jewish and Christian texts.

1. Baal

   Baal, also rendered Baʿal, is a Northwest Semitic title and honorific meaning "master" or "lord" that is used for various gods who were patrons of cities in the Levant and Asia Minor, cognate to Akkadian Bēlu. A Baalist or Baalite means a worshipper of Baal. "Baʿal" can refer to any god and even to human officials. In some texts it is used for Hadad, a god of the rain, thunder, fertility and agriculture, and the lord of Heaven. Since only priests were allowed to utter his divine name, Hadad, Ba‛al was commonly used. Nevertheless, few if any Biblical uses of "Baʿal" refer to Hadad, the lord over the assembly of gods on the holy mount of Heaven, but rather refer to any number of local spirit-deities worshipped as cult images, each called baʿal and regarded in the Hebrew Bible in that context as a "false god".
