SIBI-P1 H1187-02
to the Master of Peor
| Root | בעל (b-ʿ-l) |
| Core Meanings | ownership, mastery, lordship, possession, husbandry |
| Semantic Range | lord, master, owner, husband; title for various Canaanite deities; proper name Baal; by extension, one who exercises dominion or possession |
| Conceptual Significance | Baal of Peor was a Moabite deity whose worship ensnared Israel at Peor (Numbers 25), symbolizing covenantal unfaithfulness. The title "Master" underscores the false lordship Israel was tempted to acknowledge in place of יהוה, highlighting the theological contrast between true and illegitimate sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Prefixed preposition לְ (“to/for”) + masculine singular noun/proper noun בַּעַל in construct with פְּעוֹר (“Peor”). Forms marked HR/Np (proper noun) and HR/Ncmsc (masculine singular common noun construct). |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun בַּעַל derives from the root בעל, meaning "master" or "lord," denoting one who possesses or exercises authority. The prefixed לְ indicates direction (“to”), and the form is masculine singular (proper noun or singular construct), referring specifically to the deity associated with Peor. "To the Master of Peor" preserves both the root sense of lordship and the singular masculine form indicated in the morphology. |
