1. (Myth.) The supreme male divinity of the Phoenician and
Canaanitish nations.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The name of this god occurs in the Old Testament and
elsewhere with qualifying epithets subjoined, answering
to the different ideas of his character; as,
Baal-berith (the Covenant Baal), Baal-zebub (Baal of
the fly).
[1913 Webster]

baal
(devil) | BAAL, n. An old deity formerly much worshiped under various names.
As Baal he was popular with the Phoenicians; as Belus or Bel he had
the honor to be served by the priest Berosus, who wrote the famous
account of the Deluge; as Babel he had a tower partly erected to his
glory on the Plain of Shinar. From Babel comes our English word
"babble." Under whatever name worshiped, Baal is the Sun-god. As
Beelzebub he is the god of flies, which are begotten of the sun's rays
on the stagnant water. In Physicia Baal is still worshiped as Bolus,
and as Belly he is adored and served with abundant sacrifice by the
priests of Guttledom.
