Profile

Origin

Baal is a title in Semitic languages meaning "lord," and is applied to several deities. The weather and fertility god Hadad is often referred to as simply Baal in Ugaritic sources, such as the eponymous Baal Cycle, and worship of Baal is frequently mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and Christian Old Testament as leading the Israelites astray from their worship of YHVH.
