👉 Ba'alim is a Hebrew word that refers to a type of animal that was considered sacred in ancient Mesopotamia. Specifically, it is associated with the god of fertility and fertility rites, Baal, who was worshiped as a deity in Babylon during the Old Babylonian period (c. 2085-1604 BCE). However, this term has been interpreted differently over time and can be applied to various animals or symbolic creatures that were associated with Baal.
