Profile

Origin

According to Amos 5:26, Kaiwān was a star-god worshiped by the Israelites. This is derived from the Assyrian name of the planet Saturn (Kajjamānu); the planet Saturn was probably seen as a deity by the Assyrians as well due to the use of the deity determinative in cuneiform script and every other planet being named for gods, though this deity was evidently not of any importance. The vocalized Hebrew name used in the Masoretic text, Kiyyun, uses the vowel markings of shiqqus, meaning "abomination".
