Baal Berith

Baʿal Berith (Hebrew: בעל ברית, lit.'Baʿal of the Covenant') and El Berith (Hebrew: אל ברית, lit.'God of the Covenant') are titles of a god or gods worshiped in Shechem, in ancient Canaan, according to the Bible.

The term for "covenant" (Hebrew: ברית, romanized: bərīt) appears also in Ugaritic texts (second millennium BCE) as brt (𐎁𐎗𐎚), in connection with Baʿal, and perhaps as Beruth in Sanchuniathon's work.[1]
