- Bel, signifying "lord" or "master", is a title rather than a genuine name, applied to various gods in Babylonian religion. The feminine form is Belit 'Lady, Mistress'. Bel is represented in Greek as Belos and in Latin as Belus. Linguistically Bel is an East Semitic form cognate with Northwest Semitic Ba‘al with the same meaning. Early translators of Akkadian believed that the ideogram for the god called in Sumerian Enlil was to be read as Bel in Akkadian. This is now known to be incorrect; but one finds Bel used in referring to Enlil in older translations and discussions. Bel became especially used of the Babylonian god Marduk and when found in Assyrian and neo-Babylonian personal names or mentioned in inscriptions in a Mesopotamian context it can usually be taken as referring to Marduk and no other god. Similarly Belit without some disambiguation mostly refers to Bel Marduk's spouse Sarpanit. However Marduk's mother, the Sumerian goddess called Ninhursag, Damkina, Ninmah and other names in Sumerian, was often known as Belit-ili 'Lady of the Gods' in Akkadian. Of course other gods called "Lord" could be and sometimes were identified totally or in part with Bel Marduk. The god Malak-bel of Palmyra is an example, though in the later period from which most of our information comes he seems to have become very much a sun god which Marduk was not. Similarly Zeus Belus mentioned by Sanchuniathon as born to Cronus/El in Peraea is certainly most unlikely to be Marduk. W. H. D. Rouse in 1940 wrote an ironic end note to Book 40 of his edition of Nonnus' Dionysiaca about a very syncretistic hymn sung by Dionysus to Tyrian Heracles, that is, to Ba‘al Melqart whom Dionysus identifies with Belus on the Euphrates (who should be Marduk!) and as a sun god:... the Greeks were as firmly convinced as many modern Bible-readers that the Semites, or the Orientals generally, worshipped a god called Baal or Bel, the truth of course being that ba'al is a Semitic word for lord or master, and so applies to a multitude of gods. This "Bel," then, being an important deity, must be the sun, the more so as some of the gods bearing that title may have been really solar. Bel is named in the Bible at Isaiah 46:1 and Jeremiah 50:2 and 51:44.
- Bel es el nombre dado a un dios babilónico identificado con diversas deidades en varias etapas históricas. Su nombre deriva de un término acadio que significa “Señor”, “amo” o “Dueño”.
- Bēl est un mot akkadien signifiant "maître" ou "seigneur". C'est plus un titre qu'un nom authentique, repris pour citer de nombreuses divinités babyloniennes et assyriennes Le féminin de Bēl est Bēlit, signifiant Dame, Maîtresse, Reine. Linguistiquement Bēl est une forme orientale de la forme Baal, qui reprend l'essentiel de son sens. Bēl est progressivement devenu le titre personnel du dieu Babylonien Mardouk. De même, Bēlit renvoie à la femme de Mardouk, Sarpanit. Certains personnages féminins, tels que la mère de Mardouk, appelée Ninhursag, Ningal ou Ninmah, était couramment appelés Bēlit-ili (Dame des Dieux) en Akkadien. Les grecs reprirent un temps cette particule, appelant alors leur principal dieu Zeus : Belos (Ζευς Βελος).
- Бэл, бел (в пер. с аккадск. — «владыка», «господин») — в религиях Древнего Междуречья обозначение верховного бога. Применялось по отношению к шумерскому богу Энлилю, одному из троицы космических богов, а позднее являлось обозначением Мардука, бога города Вавилона.
- Bel är ett semitiskt ord för herre. Bel var även namnet, eller titeln, på en gud som dyrkades av semiter under forntiden i den Främre Orienten. Guden var nära sammankopplad med Baal och Marduk. En känd historia om ormguden Bel i Babylonien återfinns i tillägg till Daniels bok i Gamla Testamentet.
