Phoenicia.
What is the meaning of Baal of Peor?
A:Baal of Peor was a Moabite god, whose temple was on the mountain of Peor. In ancient times, gods were often referred to by reference to the location of their temple. Just as we find references to Yahweh (God) of Jerusalem, Yahweh of Samaria and Yahweh of Teman, so we have Baal of Peor. The word 'Baal' translates as 'Lord', so it is not necessary for the ancients to have regarded him as essentially the same god as the Baal worshipped in Phoenicia, Aram and Israel.
