Strong's Lexicon Gur-baal: Gur-baal Original Word: גּוּר־בַּעַל Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: גּוּר (gur), meaning "sojourn" or "dwelling," and בַּעַל (baal), meaning "lord" or "master." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Gur-baal in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a direct counterpart in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Gur-baal is a place name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The name can be understood to mean "dwelling of Baal" or "sojourning place of Baal," indicating a location associated with the worship or presence of the Canaanite deity Baal. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, Baal was a prominent deity worshiped by various cultures, including the Canaanites. The name Gur-baal suggests a location where Baal worship was prevalent. This reflects the syncretistic religious practices that were common in the region, where local deities were often integrated into the worship practices of neighboring peoples. The presence of such a place highlights the religious challenges faced by the Israelites, who were called to worship Yahweh exclusively.
