Egyptian sun god; supreme god of the universe in whom Amen and Ra were merged. Among all the multitude of Egyptian deities, the god Amun was considered to be the king of the gods, a supreme creator-god.

The Greeks equated Amun with Zeus. The Romans equated him with Jupiter.
The word first occurs in the Hebrew Bible in Numbers 5:22 when the Priest addresses a suspected adulteress and she responds “Amen, Amen”. Overall, the word appears in the Hebrew Bible 30 times.
The woman cried out to her God Amun-Ra and now coined the phrase Amen.
