However, the concept of idolatry and wickedness is addressed in various Greek terms related to sin and moral failure.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Beth Aven translates to "house of wickedness" or "house of vanity." It is used in the Bible to refer to a location that symbolizes idolatry and moral corruption. The name is often used pejoratively to describe a place that has turned away from God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Beth Aven is mentioned in the context of the Northern Kingdom of Israel, particularly in relation to the city of Bethel. Bethel, meaning "house of God," was a significant religious site. However, when the Israelites engaged in idolatrous practices, prophets like Hosea used the term "Beth Aven" to highlight the spiritual decline and moral corruption of the people. This reflects the broader theme of Israel's struggle with idolatry and the consequences of turning away from Yahweh.<div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בֵּית
