💡 Literal Meaning
“Without worth,” “worthless,” or “without purpose.”
Also rendered: “good‑for‑nothing,” “useless,” or beliyyaʿal as a label for corrupt conduct.
There is no dualistic, cosmic‑evil being in this term — it marks human rebellion, not a spirit.
🚫 What Beliyaʿal Is Not
| Later Claims | Witness from Yhwh’s Word |
|---|---|
| Beliyaʿal = Satan ❌ | No — it labels a worthless person. |
| Beliyaʿal = Evil spirit ❌ | No — usage targets wicked humans. |
| Beliyaʿal = Devil or demon ❌ | No — Yhwh’s Word does not teach this. |
| Beliyaʿal = Fallen angel ❌ | No — not present in the early record. |
These ideas came much later, through post‑BC religious systems, not from the early West‑Semitic line.
✅ Early West‑Semitic View (paleo script)
𐤁𐤋𐤉𐤉𐤏𐤋 names a person of no moral worth or purpose — not a spirit being. It points to rebellion in humans, not supernatural power.
🔚 The Core Sense
| Term | Meaning | Applied To |
|---|---|---|
| Beliyaʿal | Worthless / without purpose | Rebellious, lawless people — not spirits |
