Revision as of 22:02, 4 October 2008 by Cleaner (talk | contribs) (Beth-aven (EBD) moved to Text:EBD:Beth-aven)
House of nothingness; i.e., "of idols", a place in the mountains of Benjamin, east of Bethel (Josh. 7:2; 18:12; 1 Sam. 13:5). In Hos. 4:15; 5:8; 10:5 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.
