ā´ven און , 'āwen "emptiness," "vanity": Used in Ezekiel 30:17 for On or Heliopolis, in Egypt. See ON. As a term of contempt Hosea calls Beth-el "Beth-aven" ( Hosea 4:15; Hosea 10:5 ). So Amos speaks of some valley near Damascus as "the valley of Aven" (that is, of the idol, Amos 1:5 ), in which Baalbek (Heliopolis) was situated. The word is rendered "idol" in Isaiah 66:3 .
