It conveys a sense of moral evil or wrongdoing, often associated with idolatry or false worship. The term can also imply emptiness or futility, highlighting the vain pursuits of those who turn away from God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of "Aven" was closely tied to the idea of moral and spiritual corruption. Israel's prophets frequently used the term to describe the nation's departure from covenant faithfulness, particularly in relation to idolatry. The worship of false gods was seen as both a moral failing and a futile endeavor, leading to societal decay and divine judgment.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/205.htm">aven</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"wickedness," a contemptuous synonym for two places<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Aven (2).<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Aven <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/205.htm">'aven</a>; idolatry; Aven, the contemptuous synonym of three places, one in Coele-Syria, one in Egypt (On), and one in Palestine (Bethel) -- Aven.
