Baale-jodah

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898–1904)· Public Domain

The same as Baalah (Jos 15», 1 Ch IS""), the old name of IvllUATH-JtARlM, which see. The name is no lioubt an error for ' B.ial of .ludah' (cf. parall. 1 Ch i;i" ' to Baalah,' and Jos 15"" IS''', where it is called Kiriath-baal, i.e. 'city of Baal'). It must have been noted once aa a seat of Baal-worship. C. Ii. CONDEU. BAAL-GAD (i; Vy; 'Baal of fortune'?), Jos II" 12' 13'. — Close to Ilermon, but in the valley of the Lebanon. It must have been, therefore, on the north-west slopes of Hermon.

The nu)st probable site is at 'Ain JeUeidch, ' the strong spring,' in this direction, near the road to Damascus. C. K. CONDER. BAAL-HAMON (^cn Sy;), Ca 8". -Perhaps for Baal-Iluniuin, or the Am.anus. See Syria.
