Berean Strong's Lexicon baale bamoth: Baale Bamoth Original Word: בַּעֲלֵי בָּמוֹת Word Origin: Derived from בַּעַל (baal, meaning "lord" or "owner") and בָּמָה (bamah, meaning "high place" or "hill"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Baale Bamoth" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of "high places" can be related to Greek terms for elevated worship sites, such as ὑψηλός (hypsēlos, meaning "high" or "lofty"). Usage: Baale Bamoth is a term used to refer to a location associated with high places, which were often sites of worship, both legitimate and illegitimate, in ancient Israel. The term combines the idea of "lords" or "owners" with "high places," suggesting a place of significant religious or cultural importance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, high places (bamoth) were elevated sites often used for worship and sacrifices. These locations were sometimes appropriated for the worship of Yahweh, but they were also frequently associated with idolatrous practices, particularly the worship of Canaanite deities like Baal. The use of high places was a contentious issue in Israel's history, with prophets and reformers often condemning their use for idolatry.
