Context: Baal-Meon, also known as Beth-Baal-Meon, is a town mentioned in the Old Testament, located in the territory of Moab. It is referenced in several biblical passages, indicating its significance in the region. The town is first mentioned in the context of the allotment of land to the tribe of Reuben. In Numbers 32:38, the Reubenites rebuilt Baal-Meon after capturing it from the Moabites. The town is also listed among the cities of Moab in 1 Chronicles 5:8 and is mentioned in the prophetic oracles against Moab in Jeremiah 48:23. The name Baal-Meon reflects the common practice of naming places after local deities or significant features, with "Baal" indicating a connection to a Canaanite deity and "Meon" suggesting a place of dwelling or habitation. The town's strategic location and its mention in various biblical texts highlight its importance in the ancient Near Eastern landscape.
