Semantic domains 5 entries
Strong002001001063
This entry carries no independent “Strong” sense of its own; this lexeme's sole occurrence is the personal name On: “Now Korah the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On the son of Peleth, sons of Reuben, took men” (Numbers 16:1). The domain is bundle-shared with אוֹן (ʼôwn, H202) and אוֹן (ʼÔwn, H204).
Stage002001001060
The underlying sense of a beginning stage of strength is carried into this name's derivation, drawn from the same root that names Reuben's own "beginning of strength" (Genesis 49:3, tagged under the related form אוֹן (ʼôwn, H202) rather than under this personal name's own occurrence).
Objects001
The broader sense of substance or wealth underlies this name as well, drawn from the same root's use for wealth or vigor (Job 20:10, tagged under the related form אוֹן (ʼôwn, H202) rather than under this personal name's own occurrence).
Names of Locations003001010
אוֹן is also attested as a place name distinct from this individual's own name, the Egyptian city On whose priest Potiphera was Joseph's father-in-law (Genesis 41:45, tagged under the place-name form אוֹן (ʼÔwn, H204) rather than under this personal name's own occurrence).
Names of People003001007
Here אוֹן names On the son of Peleth, one of the Reubenites who joined Korah's rebellion against Moses (Numbers 16:1).
