Semantic domains 10 entries
Names of Locations003001010
This entry carries no independent "Names of Locations" sense of its own beyond the deity's own name; every tagged occurrence names the god Baal himself or the collective "Baals," as at Judges 2:11 — "the sons of Israel did evil... and served the Baals" — never a place. The domain code here is bundle-shared with an unrelated entry rather than reflecting any independent place-name use of this word.
Leaders001001003005
This Leaders code is inherited from the shared root listing with the common noun בַּעַל (baʻal, H1167) ("lord, master"); the specific god Baal, as named in passages like Judges 2:11's "they served the Baals," does not independently carry a human-leadership sense.
Deities001001001
Deities fits this entry directly: Baal is the specific Canaanite storm-and-fertility god repeatedly named as the object of Israel's apostasy, as in Judges 2:13's "they abandoned the LORD and served Baal and the Ashtaroth."
Names of Deities003001004
בַּעַל names the Canaanite deity Baal, as at Judges 6:25 — "take your father's bull... and tear down the altar of Baal" — and 1 Kings 16:32 — "he erected an altar for Baal at the house of Baal, which he built in Samaria."
Animals001001002
This Animals code is inherited from the shared root listing with בַּעַל (baʻal, H1167)'s ownership-of-livestock sense; the deity Baal's own attested occurrences carry no independent animal association.
Objects001
This Objects code is inherited from בַּעַל (baʻal, H1167)'s general-possession sense and is not an independent feature of the deity Baal as attested in the text.
Engage002003003011
This Engage code is inherited from בַּעַל (baʻal, H1167)'s "bound up with a quality" construct usage; the deity's own occurrences (being "served" or "abandoned") do not independently reflect this idiomatic pattern.
Soldiers001001003013
This Soldiers code is inherited from בַּעַל (baʻal, H1167)'s military-ally sense and is not an independent feature of the deity Baal's own attested occurrences.
Professions001001003009
This Professions code is inherited from בַּעַל (baʻal, H1167)'s craft/office sense and is not an independent feature of the deity Baal's own attested occurrences.
Names of People003001007
This Names of People code is inherited from בַּעַל (baʻal, H1167)'s shared root listing; while distinct human individuals elsewhere bear the name Baal (e.g. a Reubenite in 1 Chronicles 5:5), the deity's own occurrences in Judges/Kings are not personal-name attestations of a human being.
