Baali (title)

Baali (title)

Baali (bā´əlī) is a former title used by the Israelites for God. The title, which means "my lord," is derived from the possessive form of the honorific Baal. The Judeo-Christian prophet Hosea (Book of Hosea 2:16) reproached Jews for applying the title to Jehovah. Instead, he said, they should have used the endearing title Ishi, which means "my husband". The verse goes [http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hos%202:16;&version=49;] :

"It will come about in that day," declares the LORD, "That you will call Me 1 Ishi And will no longer call Me ² Baali.

# Hosea 2:16 I.e. my husband
# Hosea 2:16 I.e. my master, or my Baal
