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

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.
