Bela the son of Beor In the Hebrew the addition of the letter mwould give us the proper name "Balaam the son of Beor" (Numbers 22:5). So Targum of Jonathan reads. Hence some have conjectured that we have here an alternative tradition respecting Balaam, as king of Edom.

Belais also the name of a town, Zoar (Genesis 14:2).
