Baal-Peor? Lord of the anus.

Baal Peor meaning

Hosea remarks on the Baal Peor event in Hosea 9:10, and it is clear that the Israelites defiled themselves there with abundant fornication and sexual perversion. All leading translators steer timidly clear from this name, which basically comes down to Lord Hole.

Yep, there a lots of puns and innuendos which our Jamesian and Victorian forefathers decided not to translate precisely. The Hebrews were a very earthy bunch and didn’t mind a little pull my finger humor.
