Beor
Beor, a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a proper noun referring to two individuals: (1) The father of Bela, an early Edomite leader, and (2) the father of Balaam, the prophetic figure in the narratives concerning Moab and Midian. While the form בְּעוֹר resembles Hebrew roots relating to burning, its usage is consistently as a name and not as a common noun or verb; thus, its meaning remains a proper name rather than conveying a lexical sense of 'burning' or 'lamp.'
