Explanation preview
This verse comes from the list of towns the Reubenites rebuilt after Moses granted them land east of the Jordan, provided their fighting men crossed ahead of Israel (Numbers 32). The note that names were changed likely reflects a desire to remove associations with the Canaanite god Baal, whose name appears in Baal-meon.
