Plural of Baal; multiple manifestations or representations of the Canaanite god Baal in ancient religious practice.
From Hebrew 'ba'alim' (lords, masters), plural of 'baal'. Standard Hebrew pluralization of the deity name.
Ancient Canaanites didn't think of Baal as just one god—different cities had their own local Baal with unique powers, like how superheroes might have different versions across alternate universes.
