Baal-Hermon
Baal-hermon
(Hebrews Ba’al Chermon’, , lord of Hermon), the name of a city and a hill adjoining.
1. (Sept. makes two names, .) A to- n not far from Mount Hermon, mentioned as inhabited by the Ephraimites in connection with Bashan and Senir (1Ch 5:23). It was probably the same with the BAAL-GAD SEE BAAL-GAD (q.v.) of Jos 11:17 (Robinson, Researches, new ed. 3, 409).
2. (Sept. translates , Mount Hermon.) A mountain () east of Lebanon, from which the Israelites were unable to expel the Hivites (Jdg 3:3). This is usually considered as a distinct place from Mount Hermon; but the only apparent ground for doing so is the statement in 1Ch 5:23, unto Baal-hermon, and Senir, and [unto] Mount Hermon; but it is quite possible that the conjunction and may be here, as elsewhere, used as an expletive unto Baal-hermon, even Senir, even Mount Hermen. Perhaps this derives some color from the fact, which we know, that this mountain had at least three names (Deu 3:9). May not Baal-hermon have been a fourth, in use among the Phoenician worshippers of Baal, one of whose sanctuaries, Baal-gad, was at the foot of this very mountain? SEE BAALIM.

Baal Hermon
Jdg 3:3; 1Ch 5:23 (translate Baal Hermon, even Senir, even Mount Hermon.”) The mountain had three names (Deu 3:9); Baal Hermon was probably one used among the Phoenician worshippers of Baal, whose sanctuary Baal Gad was at the base of the mountain. (See BAAL GAD.)

Baal-Hermon
baal-hurmon ( , baal hermon; , Baal Ermon): Baalgad under Mount Hermon is described as toward the sunrising in Jos 13:5. If Mount Lebanon proper is here intended the reading may be taken as correct. But in Jdg 3:3 Baal-gad is replaced by Baal-hermon. One or the other must be due to a scribal error. The Baal-hermon of 1Ch 5:23 lay somewhere East of the Jordan, near to Mount Hermon. It may possibly be identical with Banias.
