SIBI-P1
Burning-One (Beor)
| Root | בער (b-ʿ-r) |
| Core Meanings | burning, kindling, consuming, blazing |
| Semantic Range | Literal burning or consuming fire; figurative intensity or destructive force; as a proper name, it designates the father of Balaam and an Edomite king. |
| Conceptual Significance | As the name of Balaam’s father and an Edomite king, "Burning-One" may evoke imagery of intensity or destructive force, themes often associated with divine judgment or fervor in biblical thought, though in usage it primarily serves as a genealogical identifier. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun (HNp). The form בְּעוֹר (Bᵉʿôr) functions as a personal name; no pronominal suffixes or verbal features are present. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root בער meaning "to burn" or "to consume." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), it is rendered "Burning-One," preserving both the root sense and its masculine singular personal form while retaining the traditional name "Beor" for identification. |
