However, related concepts of ownership and lordship can be found in Greek terms like κύριος (kyrios), meaning "lord" or "master."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "baʿalah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a female owner or mistress. It is the feminine form of "baʿal," which is often used to refer to a lord, master, or husband. In the context of the Bible, "baʿalah" can refer to a woman who has authority or ownership, often in relation to property or land.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of ownership and lordship was significant, with "baʿal" being a common term for a male owner or master. The feminine form, "baʿalah," reflects the societal roles where women could hold positions of authority or ownership, albeit less frequently than men. The term also highlights the patriarchal structure of ancient Israelite society, where familial and property rights were typically male-dominated, but women could still hold significant roles.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>fem. of <a href="/hebrew/1167.htm">baal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a mistress<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>medium* (2), mistress (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
