BDB514 [H528]

I. אָמוֺן proper name Amon, an Egyptian god Nah 3:8; Jer 46:25, compare by Greeks with Zeus (Herod.^{ii. 42}; Diod^i.13), Ἀμμῶν. He was originally the local deity of Thebes (= נאֹ, called נאֹ אָמוֺן Nah 3:8, compare מִנּאֹ ׳א Jer 46:25

**Spiegelb^{Randglossen, 43 ff.} reads נֹא אָמוֺן (as Nah 3:8) for אָמוֺן נֹא, and finds in both a Thebes in the Delta.), but subsequently became the supreme god of the Egyptian Pantheon, the successor of the sun-god Ra and so-called Amon Ra. He was the secret god, who hid himself and was difficult to find (Amon = concealment, hidden); see Rawl.^{Hist, Anc. Egypt, i. 322} Ebers Ri^HWB. (II. III. אָמוֺן.)
