However, the Greek term "Heliopolis" (Ἡλιούπολις) is used in historical texts to refer to the same city.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "On" refers to an ancient city in Egypt, known for its religious significance and as a center of sun worship. It is often associated with the worship of the sun god Ra. In the Bible, On is mentioned in the context of Joseph's marriage to Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>On, or Heliopolis, was one of the oldest and most significant cities in ancient Egypt. It was a major religious center dedicated to the sun god Ra, and its priests held considerable influence. The city was known for its grand temples and obelisks, which symbolized the rays of the sun. On's prominence in Egyptian culture and religion made it a key location during the time of the patriarchs.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a city in N.
