See Macpherson's Introduction to the history of great Britain and Ireland. This idol, which is called by the Septuagint, Baal, is mentioned in other parts of scripture by other names. They went out into Baal Pheor, and separated themselves to their shame. And he destroyed the grove she had consecrated, and broke the most filthy idol, and burnt it at the brook Kedron. Dr.
