It was a significant religious and cultural center, particularly known for the worship of the sun god Ra.

It was a major center for the worship of the sun god Ra, and its priests were highly influential. The city was known for its obelisks and temples dedicated to Ra. During the time of Joseph, On was a prominent city, reflecting the integration of Hebrew and Egyptian cultures through Joseph's marriage to Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/202.htm">on</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a chief of the tribe of Reuben.<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">אוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<em>vigour</em>) a chief of tribe of Reuben <a href="/interlinear/numbers/16-1.htm">Numbers 16:1</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>On <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/202.htm">'own</a>; On, an Israelite -- On. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/202.htm">'own</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְא֥וֹן ואון veon wə’ōwn wə·’ō·wn<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/numbers/16-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Numbers 16:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/numbers/16.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בְּנֵ֧י אֱלִיאָ֛ב <b> וְא֥וֹן </b> בֶּן־ פֶּ֖לֶת</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/numbers/16.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> of Eliab, <span class="itali">and On</span> the son<br><a href="/kjvs/numbers/16.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> of Eliab, <span class="itali">and On,</span> the son<br><a href="/interlinear/numbers/16-1.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the sons of Eliab <span class="itali">and On</span> the son of Peleth<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_203.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_203.htm">Strong's Hebrew 203<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/veon_203.htm">wə·’ō·wn — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/202.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="202"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="202" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/204.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="204"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="204" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
