It is most notably associated with two individuals: the father of Balaam, a non-Israelite prophet, and the father of Bela, one of the early kings of Edom. The name Beor may imply a sense of burning or consuming, possibly reflecting a characteristic or reputation of the individuals bearing this name.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or destiny. Beor, as the father of Balaam, is part of a narrative involving the Moabite king Balak, who sought Balaam's services to curse Israel. This account highlights the interactions between Israel and surrounding nations and the recognition of Israel's God by non-Israelite figures. The mention of Beor as the father of Bela, an Edomite king, situates him within the genealogical and political landscape of the region, reflecting the interconnectedness of various peoples in the biblical narrative.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1197.htm">baar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"a
