SIBI-P1 H1167-08

and master-of

Rootבעל (b-ʿ-l)
Core Meaningsownership, mastery, lordship, possession, marital authority
Semantic Rangemaster, lord, owner, husband, possessor, chief, patron; in certain contexts a title for the Canaanite deity Baal
Conceptual SignificanceThe term expresses authority grounded in possession or covenantal claim, whether of property, household, or spouse. It also became the proper name/title of a prominent Canaanite deity, making it theologically significant in Israel’s struggle against idolatry and in discussions of covenant lordship.
Morphological NotesConjunction וּ ("and") + noun common masculine singular construct (בַּעַל). One attested form reflects the Qal perfect 3ms verbal form from the same root ("and he mastered/married"), but the primary lexeme here is the noun.
Rendering RationaleThe form is a masculine singular noun in the construct state with a prefixed conjunction ("and"). "Master-of" preserves the construct relationship (requiring a following noun) and reflects the core idea of ownership or lordship inherent in the root בעל.
