Amon, Deity (אָמוֹן, amon). An Egyptian deity usually associated with the wind. Sometimes depicted with a human body and the head of a ram. He is mentioned in Jer 46:25. He was particularly associated with the city Thebes; in Nah 3:8, the city name translated as Thebes is actually No-Amon (“city of Amon”). After Thebes became the capital of Egypt, Amon acquired national importance and began to take on characteristics of the sun god, Re. Eventually he was referred to as Amon-Re and was the chief god of Egypt by the time of the New Kingdom (ca. 1540 bc).
