Strong's Lexicon Dedan or Dedaneh: Dedan Original Word: דָּדָן Word Origin: Derived from the root דּוּד (dud), meaning "to move slowly" or "to lead." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Dedan in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. Usage: Dedan refers to both a person and a place in the Bible. As a person, Dedan is a descendant of Cush and a grandson of Ham, making him a member of the Hamitic line (Genesis 10:7). Dedan is also mentioned as a descendant of Abraham through Keturah (Genesis 25:3). As a place, Dedan is associated with a trading people known for their commerce and caravans, often linked with the regions of Arabia. Cultural and Historical Background: Dedan was an ancient trading center located in the Arabian Peninsula, likely in the region of modern-day Saudi Arabia. The Dedanites were known for their trade in luxury goods, such as spices, precious stones, and textiles. They were part of the larger network of trade routes that connected the Near East with Africa and Asia. The mention of Dedan in prophetic literature often symbolizes wealth and commerce, as well as the judgment that comes upon nations that rely on their riches rather than on God.
