SIBI-P1 H1168-05

to the Master (Baal)

Morphological NotesPreposition לְ ("to/for") with assimilated definite article (לַ) + masculine singular proper noun בַּעַל (Np). The form refers to the named deity Baal.
Rendering RationaleThe noun בַּעַל derives from the root בעל, meaning "master" or "owner." As a masculine singular proper noun (Np) with the prefixed preposition לַ ("to/for" with assimilated definite article), the form means "to the Master," referring specifically to the deity Baal. This rendering preserves both the root sense of mastery and the singular masculine proper form indicated by the morphology.
