BETH-AVEN

1. Town in Benjamin’s territory, located west of Michmash on the border of the wilderness, near Ai, to the east of Bethel (Jos 7:2; 18:12; 1 Sm 13:5; 14:23).

2. Term used by Hosea contemptuously to refer to Bethel, an ancient center of worship, because the “House of God” (Bethel) had become a “house of wickedness” (Beth-aven or just Aven; Hos 4:15; 5:8; 10:5). See Aven #2.
