Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term מִדְיָנִי (Midyani) in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as the term specifically refers to the Midianite people in the Hebrew context. However, references to Midianites in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use transliterations or descriptive terms to convey the same meaning.

Usage: The term "Midianite" is used to describe the descendants of Midian, who were a nomadic people often in conflict with the Israelites. They are mentioned in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, particularly in relation to their interactions with the Israelites.

Context: The Midianites were a nomadic tribe descended from Midian, the son of Abraham and Keturah. They are frequently mentioned in the Old Testament, often in the context of their interactions and conflicts with the Israelites. The Midianites inhabited the region east of the Jordan River and the Sinai Peninsula. They were known for their trade and commerce, as well as their involvement in the caravan trade routes.

In the Book of Numbers, the Midianites are depicted as adversaries of the Israelites. Numbers 25 describes how the Israelites were led into idolatry and immorality through the influence of the Midianites, resulting in God's judgment upon them. In response, Moses was commanded to take vengeance on the Midianites, leading to a military campaign against them (Numbers 31).

The Midianites also appear in the story of Gideon in the Book of Judges. They oppressed the Israelites, leading to Gideon's rise as a judge who delivered Israel from their domination (Judges 6-8). The Midianites are portrayed as a formidable force, but ultimately, they were defeated by Gideon's strategic and divinely guided tactics.

The Midianites' interactions with the Israelites highlight themes of conflict, idolatry, and divine deliverance. Their presence in the biblical narrative serves as a backdrop for God's dealings with His people, emphasizing the consequences of disobedience and the faithfulness of God in delivering His people from their enemies.
