Baal-perazim] Perazim means 'breaches.' Hence the play upon words. 'The Lord has made a breach.. like the breach.. he called the name.. Breaches.' It is common to find the names of places compounded with the name of the Baal to whom they were considered to belong: e.g. Baal-Peor, Baal-Gad, Baal-Perazim. Here the Baal is, of course, Jehovah.
