Baal
Baal or Baʻal (Hebrew: בַּעַל baʿal), was a title and honorific meaning 'owner' or 'lord' in the Northwest Semitic languages spoken in the Levant during antiquity. From its use among different peoples, it came to be applied to gods. Later, Christian writers conflated this deity with the demonological figure Belial.
