Ono — a Benjaminite town northwest of Lydda, associated with the plain of the same name
Ono was a town in the territory of Benjamin, identified with modern Kefr Ana northwest of Lydda (Lod). Its five occurrences span from the Chronicler's genealogies to the post-exilic community. It first appears as a town built (or rebuilt) by a Benjaminite named Shemed (1 Chr 8:12), then in the census lists of returning exiles alongside Lod (Ezra 2:33; Neh 7:37), in the resettlement roster (Neh 11:35), and notably in Nehemiah 6:2, where Sanballat and Geshem propose a meeting 'in the plain of Ono' — an invitation Nehemiah wisely refuses. The multilingual glosses — English 'Ono,' Spanish 'Ono' — reflect straightforward transliteration of this toponym.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The proper noun Ono, designating a Benjaminite town and its surrounding plain, located northwest of Lydda in the Shephelah region. First mentioned as founded by Shemed the Benjaminite (1 Chr 8:12), it appears prominently in post-exilic records: the census of returning exiles (Ezra 2:33; Neh 7:37), the resettlement list (Neh 11:35), and Nehemiah's refusal to meet enemies in its valley (Neh 6:2). The name, possibly meaning 'vigorous,' is uniformly transliterated across language traditions. 5×
