Quote While "Baal" and "Bel" are essentially the same deity, with "Baal" being the Northwest Semitic term and "Bel" the East Semitic equivalent, the key difference is that "Baal" is more commonly associated with the Canaanite god of fertility and storms, while "Bel" is often used to refer to the Babylonian god Marduk, where "Bel" is essentially a title meaning "lord" in that context; both names essentially translate to "lord" in their respective languages.
