Appears 3 times in Scripture
“I will punish Bel in Babylon. I will make him spew out what he swallowed. The nations will no longer stream to him; even the wall of Babylon will fall.”
“Bel crouches; Nebo cowers. Their idols weigh down beasts and cattle. The images you carry are burdensome, a load to the weary animal.”
““Announce and declare to the nations; lift up a banner and proclaim it; hold nothing back when you say, ‘Babylon is captured; Bel is put to shame; Marduk is shattered, her images are disgraced, her idols are broken in pieces.’”
When Bêl is spoken over you
Words like this one get spoken over people: in a prayer line, in a message from a friend, in a moment nobody planned. The lexicon gives you what Bêl means. What God is saying to you through it is yours to record and weigh.
Doxa is where you record what was said, in the words it was said in, weigh it against verses like Jeremiah 51:44 with people you trust, and return to it in a year to see what came of it.
