A place and desert near Bethel on the east, Jos 7:2 ; 18:12; 1Sa 13:5 ; 14:23. It seems to be reproachfully used at times for Bethel itself, after the golden calves were there set up, Hos 4:15 ; 10:5: Beth-el meaning the house of God; and Beth-aven, the house of sin, or of an idol.<\/p>\n
(Heb. Beyth A’ven, , house of nothingness, i.e. wickedness, idolatry; Sept. usually v. r. ), a place on the mountains of Benjamin, east of Bethel (Jos 7:2, Sept. ; 18:12), and lying between that place and Michmash (1Sa 13:5, Sept. v. r. ; also 14:23, Sept. ). In Jos 18:12, the wilderness (Midbar = pasture-land) of Beth-aven is mentioned. In Hos 4:15; Hos 5:8; Hos 10:5, the name is transferred, with a play on the word very characteristic of this prophet, to the neighboring Bethel once the house of God, but then the house of idols, of naught. The Talmudists accordingly everywhere confound Beth-aven with Bethel (comp. Schwarz, Palest. p. 89), the proximity of which may have occasioned the employment of the term as a nickname, after Bethel became the seat of the worship of the golden calves. SEE BETHEL. The name Beth-aven, however, was properly that of a locality distinct from Bethel (Jos 7:2, etc.), and appears to have been applied to a village located on the rocky eminence Burj Beitin, twenty minutes south-east of Beitin (Bethel), and twenty minutes west of Tell el-Hajar (Ai) (Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 294).<\/p>\n
house of nothingness; i.e., “of idols”, a place in the mountains of Benjamin, east of Bethel (Josh. 7:2<\/span>; 18:12<\/span>; 1 Sam. 13:5<\/span>). In Hos. 4:15<\/span>; 5:8<\/span>; 10:5<\/span> it stands for “Bethel” (q.v.), and it is so called because it was no longer the “house of God,” but “the house of idols,” referring to the calves there worshipped.<\/p>\n BETH-AVEN (house of iniquity, or idolatry?).Close to Ai (Jos 7:2), by the wilderness (Jos 18:12), north-west of Michmash (1Sa 13:5), and on the way to Aijalon (1Sa 14:23), still inhabited in the 8th cent. b.c. (Hos 5:8). The calves of Bethaven were probably those at Bethel close by (Hos 10:5). Bethel is probably meant also in Hos 4:15; Hos 5:8 (see Amo 5:5) Hos 10:8 (Aven).<\/p>\n It is the same place as Bethel. But after Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, set up his golden calves there, the pious among the Israelites called it Beth-aven; meaning, the house of iniquity; for it was no longer proper to call it Beth-el, the house of God. (1Ki 12:26-33)<\/p>\n beth-aven ( , beth ‘awen; , Baithon, , Baithaun): A place on the northern boundary of the territory of Benjamin (Jos 18:12) East of Bethel, near Ai (Jos 7:2), West of Michmash (1Sa 13:5; 1Sa 14:23). Beth-aven, house of vanity, i.e. idolatry, may possibly represent an original beth-‘on, house of wealth. Wilson (PEFS, 1869, 126) suggests Khirbet An, West of Michmash. The name is used in mockery for Bethel by Hosea (Hos 4:15; Hos 10:5, Hos 10:8, etc.; compare Amo 5:5).<\/p>\n H1007<\/span> <\/p>\n A place on the mountains of Benjamin.<\/p>\n Jos 7:2<\/span>; Jos 18:12<\/span>; 1Sa 13:5<\/span>; 1Sa 14:23<\/span>; Hos 4:15<\/span>; Hos 5:8<\/span>; Hos 10:5<\/span> <\/p>\n Beth-aven (bth”ven), house of vanity. or idols.
