ba'al meaning
- Jeremiah 31:32 (WEBA)
- 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which covenant of mine they broke, although I was a husband to them,” says Yahweh.
This word husband = ba'al, and ba'al does not mean husband. Remember, those same people that changed the words in our bibles, also wrote our bible dictionaries. Let's look at the true meaning of the word ba'al:
Baal, or Baʿal, is a term that means "owner" or "lord" in ancient Semitic languages, and it was often used to refer to gods in the region, particularly as a title for deities associated with fertility and storms. The word can also imply rulership or dominion over something.
In order to understand Yah's True intent here, we must refer to the Torah of Yah. What does the Torah define as Marriage.
The Bible outlines marriage laws emphasizing that marriage is a sacred union established by Elohim between one man and one woman. It also includes guidelines on divorce, stating that divorce is permissible only in cases of sexual immorality (or idolatry).
- Genesis 2:24: [NASB]
For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
- Leviticus 18:22:
You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination.
- Romans 1:26:
For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,
Romans 1:27:
and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
Truly, it is an abomination for a male to lie with a male, and likewise a woman with another woman.
ba'al does not mean husband because that would mean that Yahuah married Men, That is in direct violation to the Torah, and Yahuah (and our Messiah alike), Establish and Do the Torah, They Do Not Break the Torah. therefore, the word baal can only be defined as deity.
ba'al = deity
And there is no deity over Yahuah, our Elohim.

Here's Another case in point: Let's get the proper translation of Hosea 2:16.
- Hosea 2:16 [NASB]
- “It will come about in that day,” declares the Lord, “That you will call Me Ishi And will no longer call Me Baali.

Therefore Hosea 2:16 should say:
- Hosea 2:16
- “It will come about in that day,” declares Yahuah, “That you will call Me man And will no longer call Me Yahuah.
In conclusion, as we consider Hosea 2:16, we will no longer call Yahuah our Elohim, because we will all be Elohim. Are we equal? of course not, there is an hierarchy in the heavens. Yah is the Highest of the High. And Yahusha is the Highest of High's, High Priest. There is none higher, at that point, we will have been changed from mortal to immortal beings. We will have put off the perishable, and put on the imperishable, per 1Corinthians 15:53.
- I Corinthians 15:53:
For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Also please consider that we were made in His image according to Genesis 1:27.
- Genesis 1:27:
God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
In addition, we believe through study, that the word "Husband" has been placed where it was, out of context, as we discovered. Could it have been placed there in an effort to lead us astray? Possibly. Yah will not break His own Torah. Please take time to Study The Torah of our Elohim. You will find many words that have been twisted, to the demise of the persons that Twisted them.
We hope and pray that this has been an encouragement to you in your studies as well. May the Blessings of Yahuah our Elohim, and Yahusha our Messiah be over you.
