Kiyyun, astral deity, possibly Saturn; idol worshiped alongside Sakkuth
Kiyyun appears in Amos 5:26, where the prophet condemns Israel for carrying 'Sakkuth your king and Kiyyun your images, the star of your god.' This likely refers to astral deities worshiped in Israel's syncretistic cult. Assyrian evidence suggests Kiyyun represents Kaivanu or Kaimanu, the planet Saturn, venerated as a deity. The Masoretic pointing may deliberately distort the original pronunciation to echo 'kun' (something established/firm), or to suggest 'siqqus' (abomination). Amos denounces this astral idolatry as covenant violation deserving exile.

1. sense 1 — Amos 5:26 names Kiyyun as an astral deity worshiped by Israel, parallel to Sakkuth. Scholarly consensus, drawing on Assyrian texts, identifies this with Kaivanu/Kaimanu (planet Saturn). Multilingual transliterations vary slightly: Spanish 'Kiyún,' French 'Kiyoun,' German/French leave in brackets. The vocalization may be polemically altered to avoid pronouncing the actual divine name. Context indicates celestial/planetary worship, part of the syncretistic cult Amos condemns. The prophet's point: Israel carried idols into the wilderness and now will carry them into exile. 1×
