Baal-hermon | The amazing name Baal-hermon: meaning and etymology The name Baal-hermon occurs twice in the Bible. It belongs to either a town near mount Hermon or else is the name of a mountain close to mount Hermon. Prior and just after the conquest of Canaan, mount Baal-hermon was peopled by Hivites (whose job it was to test Israel, to see if the latter would stick to the commands of YHWH; Judges 3:3-4). The Chronicler submits that at some point after the conquest, Baal-hermon (without the word for mountain in front of it) became settled by the half-tribe of Manasseh (1 Chronicles 5:23). The name Baal-hermon consists of two parts. Excerpted from: Abarim Publications' Biblical Dictionary בעל The verb בעל (ba'al) means to exercise dominion over; to own, control or be lord over. God is obviously called 'lord' all over the Bible and the sin of the Baal priests (1 Kings 18:40) was not that they called upon some other deity but rather their incessant howling of the word 'lord' without any further responsibility or effects (see Matthew 7:21 and 11:4-5). חרם

The etymologies of words are not definitions of the words but rather where the word came from and what it may have originally meant. In other words, etymology the historical study of the origin of words. Contributions to the English language started thousands of years ago and still occur today from other languages and cultural influences. English Language Influences Words can change their meaning and sometimes their spelling gradually over time. The Indo-European roots became parents to words in Persian, Sanskrit, Greek, and Latin, all of which fed into the German, English, French and other European languages. Where can I find out a Word's Origin? To find out where a word came from, you can use the Oxford English Dictionary, considered to be the last word in such references, or you can try an online etymology dictionary.

Online Etymology Dictionary | Origin, history and meaning of English words Anagram Rearrangement of letters in a word or phrase Animation for the anagram "Listen = Silent" An anagram is a word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of a different word or phrase, typically using all the original letters exactly once.[1] For example, the word anagram itself can be rearranged into nag a ram, also the word binary into brainy and the word adobe into abode. The original word or phrase is known as the subject of the anagram. Any word or phrase that exactly reproduces the letters in another order is an anagram. Examples[edit] Anagrams may be created as a commentary on the subject. "New York Times" = "monkeys write""Church of Scientology" = "rich-chosen goofy cult""McDonald's restaurants" = "Uncle Sam's standard rot" An anagram may also be a synonym of the original word. "evil" = "vile""a gentleman" = "elegant man""eleven plus two" = "twelve plus one" An anagram that has a meaning opposed to that of the original word or phrase is called an "antigram".[3] For example:
