Strong's Lexicon Middin: Middin Original Word: מִדִּין Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Middiyn Pronunciation: mid-DEEN Phonetic Spelling: (mid-deen') Definition: Midjan Meaning: Midian; a son of Abraham by Keturah and the progenitor of the Midianites. Word Origin: Derived from the root דִּין (din), meaning "to judge" or "to contend." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew "Midian" in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, references to Midian in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) would use a transliteration of the name, such as Μαδιάμ (Madiam). Usage: The term "Midian" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to both the individual son of Abraham and the nation or people descended from him, the Midianites. The Midianites were a nomadic tribe that played a significant role in the history of Israel, often depicted as adversaries. Context: • Midian: Midian is a significant figure in the Hebrew Bible, known as one of the sons of Abraham through his wife Keturah, as recorded in Genesis 25:1-2. The descendants of Midian, known as the Midianites, became a prominent nomadic tribe in the region east of the Jordan River and the Sinai Peninsula. The Midianites are frequently mentioned in the biblical narrative, often in the context of conflict with the Israelites. Notably, Moses fled to the land of Midian after killing an Egyptian and married Zipporah, the daughter of Jethro, a priest of Midian (Exodus 2:15-21). The Midianites are also known for their involvement in the story of Balaam and their subsequent defeat by the Israelites under the leadership of Moses (Numbers 22-25, 31). The Midianites' interactions with Israel highlight themes of conflict, cultural exchange, and divine judgment.
