TRTR(I.6) Has A Devil Put Aside For Me

[Jed Kelestron]

"by a pun Baal-zebub becomes Beelzeboul, the dung god, Price of
Devils." (203.18-19)

>From Encyclopedia Britannica:

The origin of the name Beelzebul is variously explained. (a) It is “a
phonetic corruption, perhaps a softening of the original word”; as
Bab-el-mandel is a corruption of Bab-el-mandeb. (b) Zebul is from
zebel, a word found in the Targums in the sense of “dung,” so that
Beelzebul would mean “Lord of Dung,” a term of contempt. The further
suggestion has been made that zebul itself in the sense of “dung” is a
term for a heathen deity, cf. the Old Testament use of “abomination”
&c. for heathen deities, so that Beelzebul would mean “Chief of false
gods,” and so arch-fiend. (c) Zebul is found in 1 Kings viii. 13 in
the sense of “height,” beth-sebul—lofty house, and in Rabbinical
writings in the sense of “house” or “temple,” or “the fourth
heaven”;11 and Beelzebul may equal “Lord of the High House” or “Lord
of Heaven.” This view is perhaps favoured by Matt. x. 25, “if they
have called the lord of the house Beelzebul.” It appears, however,
that Rabbinical writings use yōm (day-of) zebul for the festival of a
heathen deity; and Jastrow connects this usage with the meaning
“house” or “temple,” so that the meaning “Lord of the False Gods”
might be arrived at in a different way.
