Berith

First, in plain English

Covenant. This Berith is a Canaanite god worshipped at Shechem, and the house of El-berith was his temple stronghold, where the people of Shechem took refuge from Abimelech.

Who this is

Berith, meaning "covenant," is not a person but a Canaanite deity worshipped at Shechem; Judges 9:46 refers to "the house of El-berith," the god's temple stronghold where the citizens of Shechem took refuge before Abimelech burned it down. This deity appears to be the same one called Baal-berith earlier in the same narrative (Judges 8:33; 9:4).
