The name Beor appears in several passages, and his identity and lineage are of interest in biblical studies.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/numbers/22-5.htm">Numbers 22:5</a></b> · Beor is introduced in the context of the narrative involving Balaam. "So Balak son of Zippor, who was king of Moab at that time, sent messengers to summon Balaam son of Beor at Pethor, near the River, in his native land. Balak said: 'A people has come out of Egypt; they cover the face of the land and have settled next to me.'"<br><br>2. <b><a href="/numbers/24-3.htm">Numbers 24:3, 15</a></b> · These verses further identify Balaam as the son of Beor. "Then he spoke his message: 'The oracle of Balaam son of Beor, the oracle of one whose eye sees clearly...'" This repetition emphasizes Beor's role as Balaam's father and situates Balaam within a prophetic tradition.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/deuteronomy/23-4.htm">Deuteronomy 23:4</a></b> · Beor is indirectly referenced in the context of Balaam's actions against Israel. "For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way out of Egypt, but hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to curse you."<br><br>4. <b><a href="/joshua/24-9.htm">Joshua 24:9</a></b> · This passage recounts the historical narrative of Israel, mentioning Balaam and his father. "Then Balak son of Zippor, the king of Moab, set out to fight against Israel. He sent for Balaam son of Beor to curse you."<br><br>5. <b><a href="/micah/6-5.htm">Micah 6:5</a></b> · The prophet Micah recalls the account of Balaam, again identifying him as the son of Beor. "My people, remember what Balak king of Moab plotted and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of the LORD."<br><br>6. <b><a href="/2_peter/2-15.htm">2 Peter 2:15</a></b> · In the New Testament, Beor is mentioned in the context of Balaam's error. "They have left the straight way and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Beor, who loved the wages of wickedness."<br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b><br><br>Beor's lineage is not extensively detailed in the Bible, but his mention as the father of Balaam places him within the narrative of Israel's wilderness journey. Balaam, though not an Israelite, is a significant figure due to his interactions with the Israelites and his prophetic pronouncements.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>Beor's significance is primarily derived from his son Balaam, who is a complex character in biblical theology. Balaam's account is a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and the misuse of prophetic gifts. Beor, as Balaam's father, is indirectly associated with these themes. The narrative underscores the sovereignty of God, who can use even non-Israelite figures to accomplish His purposes.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br><br>Beor and Balaam are associated with the region of Pethor, near the Euphrates River, indicating a cultural and geographical context outside of Israel. This highlights the broader ancient Near Eastern milieu in which the biblical narrative unfolds, where various peoples and their deities interacted with the God of Israel.<br><br>In summary, Beor is a minor yet pivotal figure in the biblical narrative, primarily known through his son Balaam. His mention across various books of the Bible underscores the interconnectedness of biblical accounts and the overarching themes of divine sovereignty and prophetic integrity.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Beor</span><p>burning; foolish; mad<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Beor</span><p>(<i>burning or torch</i>). <ol> <li>The father of Bela, one of the early Edomite kings.
