| <p> ''''' kı̄´un ''''' : Thus [[Hebrew]] כּיּוּן , <i> ''''' kı̄yūn ''''' </i> , is transliterated in Amos 5:26 the King James Version. The vowels represent an assimilation to some such word as <i> ''''' shiḳḳūc ''''' </i> , "detestable thing," or <i> ''''' gillūl ''''' </i> , "idol" (properly "a filthy thing"), in consonance with the well-known habit of the punctuators (compare מלך , <i> ''''' mōlekh ''''' </i> , [[Molech]] with the vowels of בּשׁת , <i> ''''' bōsheth ''''' </i> , "shame"). The [[Syriac]] version has preserved the correct vocalization; apparently also the Septuagint, albeit the consonants have suffered corruption (so particularly in the Greek manuscripts of Acts 7:43 ). There can be no doubt that we should vocalize כּיון , <i> ''''' kēwān ''''' </i> = the [[Assyrian]] Kai(a)-wanu = Kaiamanu by which at least in late [[Babylonian]] [[Saturn]] was indicated. The passage in Amos refers to the Saturn worship which appears to have been in vogue in the prophet's days. The [[Israelites]] shall carry with them into exile the images of their gods (render with the margin of the Revised Version (British and American): "Yea, ye shall take up," etc.). The received vocalization is as old as [[Aquila]] and Symmachus. </p> | | <p> ''''' kı̄´un ''''' ( Amos 5:26 the King James Version): Called in Acts 7:43 "Rephan" ( Ῥεμφάν , <i> ''''' Rhemphán ''''' </i> ) the planet Saturn. See [[Astrology]] . </p> |
