However, the concept of idolatry and pagan worship is addressed in various Greek terms related to idols and false gods.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Baal Peor refers to a Moabite deity worshiped at Mount Peor. The name combines "Baal," a common title for various local deities in the ancient Near East, with "Peor," indicating the specific location associated with this particular form of Baal worship. In the biblical narrative, Baal Peor is associated with idolatry and immorality, particularly in the context of Israel's apostasy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Baal Peor was a local manifestation of the Canaanite god Baal, worshiped by the Moabites. The worship of Baal Peor involved licentious rites and was a significant temptation for the Israelites as they encamped in the plains of Moab. The incident at Baal Peor, where Israelites engaged in idolatry and immorality with Moabite women, led to a severe divine judgment, highlighting the dangers of syncretism and the allure of pagan practices.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1168.htm">Baal</a> and <a href="/hebrew/6465.htm">Peor</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"Baal of Peor," a Moabite god<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Baal of Peor (2), Baal-peor (4).<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> <font class="hebrew2">בַּ֫עַל מְּעוֺר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/25-3.htm">Numbers 25:3,5</a>;
