Beor (Hebrew: בְּעוֹר Bə‘ōr, "a burning"; Old Aramaic: 𐤁𐤏𐤓, romanized: Bᵊʿôr) is a name which appears in relation to a king ("Bela son of Beor") and a diviner ("Balaam son of Beor"). Because the two names vary only by a single letter (ם, -m, often added to the ends of names), scholars have hypothesized that the two refer to the same person.
