ONO ō’ nō (אﯴנֹ֔ו). A Benjamite town, rebuilt by Shemed, one of the sons of Elpaal (1 Chron 8:12). To this town, and also Lod and Hadid, some 725 exiles returned from the Babylonian captivity (Ezra 2:33; Neh 7:37; 1 Esd 5:22). Ono was located in a valley known as “the valley of craftsmen” (Neh 11:35). Nehemiah 6:2 speaks of the villages in the plain of Ono. The site of the former Ono is now occupied by the place Kefr ’Ana, seven m. SE of Joppa. In Egyp. records, in the Karnak list of Thutmose III, Ono appears as ’Unu. In the Mishnah (’Arak 9:6), Ono is described as a walled city since the days of Joshua. In the Mishnah, in Gittin 6:7 and Arachin, Ono also is mentioned.
