<p> ( '''''Β''''' o '''''Σόρ''''' ), the Graecized form of the name of a place and of a man. </p> <p> '''1.''' A city, both large and fortified, on the east of Jordan, in the land of [[Gilead]] (Galaad), named with [[Bozrah]] (Bosora), Carnaim, and other places, in &nbsp;1 [[Maccabees]] 5:26; &nbsp;1 Maccabees 5:36. It is probably the BEZER (See [[Bezer]]) (q.v.) of &nbsp;Numbers 4:43 (see Grimm, ''Exeg. Handb.'' in loc.). </p> <p> '''2.''' The Aramaic mode of pronouncing the name of BEOR (See Beor) (q.v.), the father of [[Balaam]] (&nbsp;2 Peter 2:15), in accordance with the substitution, frequent in Chaldee, of '''''צ''''' for '''''ע''''' (see Gesenius, ''Thes.'' p. 1144). </p>

<p> ''''' bō´sor ''''' ( Βοσόρ , <i> ''''' Bosór ''''' </i> ): </p> <p> (1) A city named among those taken by [[Judas]] Maccabeus "in the land of Gilead" (1 Macc 5:26, 36). From the towns named it is evident that this phrase is elastic, covering territory beyond what is usually called the land of Gilead. Possibly therefore Bosor may be identical with <i> ''''' Buṣr el ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Ḥarı̄rı̄ ''''' </i> , in the <i> ''''' Luḥf ''''' </i> , Southeast of <i> ''''' el ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Lejā' ''''' </i> . </p> <p> (2) In &nbsp;2 Peter 2:15 the King James Version, the Greek form of Beor (which see). </p>
