Baalah
of Baalah
Proper noun used as a place name, Baʻălâh designates three distinct locations in the Hebrew Bible. The name itself is derived from the noun 'baʻal,' meaning 'lord, owner, or master,' and thus carries the sense of 'place of the lord' or 'Baʻal-place.' In practice, these place names likely denote sites associated with the Canaanite deity Baʻal, a major figure in neighboring cultures to ancient Israel, or indicate a place with a prominent local god or lord. The term should not be confused with the personal name or title 'Baʻal.'

SIBI-P1 Translation H1173-02
Lord-place
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, feminine singular absolute; place name formed from בעל with feminine ending -ָה. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name derives from the root בעל ('to rule, to be lord/master') with the feminine -ah ending typical of place names. "Lord-place" preserves the root sense of lordship while reflecting its function as a toponym rather than a personal title. |
