单词 beelzebub
释义

Beelzebubn.

/biːˈɛlzɪbʌb/
Forms: Also Middle English Belsebub, Middle English–1500s Belsabub, Belsabubbe, Old English–1800s Belzebub.
Etymology: < Latin Beëlzebūb, used in the Vulgate to render both the Greek βεελζεβούβ of the received text of the New Testament (for which early manuscripts have βεελζεβούλ), and the Hebrew baʿal-z'būb ‘fly-lord,’ mentioned in 2 Kings i. 2, as ‘the god of Ekron,’ which Aquila had also reproduced in Greek as βεελζεβούβ, though the Septuagint rendered it βάαλ μυΐαν. The relation between the Hebrew and Greek words is not settled. The earlier English translations, and the Douay, followed the Vulgate in identifying them in form, but the Geneva Bible of 1560, followed by the ‘Authorized’ of 1611, represent the Old Testament word more exactly as Baal-zebub. From the New Testament designation of Beelzebub as ‘prince of demons,’ the word became at an early period one of the popular names of the Devil. Milton used it as the name of one of the fallen angels.
The Devil; a devil; also transferred.
