| <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.
