The name is associated with trade and commerce, and it is mentioned in various contexts throughout the Old Testament. Dedan is often linked with other nations and tribes, particularly in the context of prophecy and judgment.<br><br><b>Genealogical Background:</b> <br>Dedan is first mentioned as a descendant of Noah through his son Ham. In <a href="/genesis/10-7.htm">Genesis 10:7</a>, Dedan is listed as a son of Raamah, who was a son of Cush: "The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. And the sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan." This genealogical record places Dedan among the early post-flood nations.<br><br>Another Dedan is mentioned as a descendant of Abraham through his concubine Keturah. In <a href="/genesis/25.htm">Genesis 25:1-3</a>, it is recorded: "Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah, and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. Jokshan was the father of Sheba and Dedan." This Dedan is thus linked to the Abrahamic lineage, indicating a different branch of the family tree.<br><br><b>Geographical and Historical Context:</b> <br>The region associated with Dedan is believed to be located in the northwestern part of the Arabian Peninsula. It was a significant center for trade, known for its caravans and commerce. Dedan is frequently mentioned alongside Sheba and other trading nations, indicating its role in the ancient trade networks.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Significance:</b> <br>Dedan is mentioned in several prophetic books of the Bible, often in the context of judgment or as part of a list of nations. In <a href="/isaiah/21-13.htm">Isaiah 21:13</a>, Dedan is referenced in a prophecy against Arabia: "This is the burden against Arabia: In the thickets of Arabia you must lodge, O caravans of Dedanites."<br><br>In <a href="/ezekiel/25-13.htm">Ezekiel 25:13</a>, Dedan is included in a prophecy against Edom: "therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will stretch out My hand against Edom, and I will cut off man and beast from it. I will lay it waste; from Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword."<br><br><a href="/ezekiel/27-15.htm">Ezekiel 27:15</a> also mentions Dedan in the context of Tyre's trading partners: "The men of Dedan were your clients; many coastlands were your market; they paid you with ivory tusks and ebony."<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Insights:</b> <br>Dedan's role as a trading nation highlights the interconnectedness of ancient Near Eastern cultures and economies. The biblical references to Dedan often emphasize themes of judgment and the transient nature of wealth and power. The prophetic mentions serve as reminders of God's sovereignty over nations and His ability to bring about justice.<br><br>The dual genealogical references to Dedan, both as a descendant of Ham and of Abraham, illustrate the complex interrelations among the peoples of the ancient world. This complexity is reflected in the biblical narrative, which often intertwines the destinies of various nations with the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>While Dedan is not a central figure in the biblical narrative, its repeated mention in genealogies and prophecies underscores its significance in the ancient world. The references to Dedan serve as a backdrop for understanding the broader historical and theological themes present in the Scriptures.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Dedan</span><p>their breasts; friendship; a judge<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Dedan</span><p>(<i>low country</i>). <ol> <li>The name of a son of Raamah, son of Cush.

It is not clear, in all cases where the name occurs, which of the tribes is intended. It was probably the Cushite tribe, which was employed in trade. The "travelling companies" of Dedan are mentioned by <a href="/isaiah/21-13.htm">Isaiah 21:13</a>. They are also named with the merchants of Tarshish by <a href="/context/ezekiel/38-13.htm">Ezekiel 38:13</a>, and were celebrated on account of their trade with the Phoenicians. </p><a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Low ground. <p>(1.)

In <a href="/isaiah/21-13.htm">Isaiah 21:13</a> allusion is made to the "caravans of Dedanites" in the wilds of Arabia, and Ezekiel mentions them as supplying Tyre with precious things (<a href="/ezekiel/27-20.htm">Ezekiel 27:20</a>; in verse 15, "Dedan" should probably be read as in Septuagint, "Rodan," i.e. Rhodians). The name seems still to linger in the island of Dadan, on the border of the Persian Gulf. It is found also in Min. and Sab. inscriptions (Glazer, II, 392).<br><br>James Orr<p><a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/1719.htm"><span class="l">1719. <b>Dedan</b> -- a descendant of Ham, also a descendant of Abraham <b>...</b></span></a><br><b>Dedan</b> or Dedaneh. 1718, 1719. <b>Dedan</b> or Dedaneh. 1720 . a descendant<br> of Ham, also a descendant of Abraham, also the tribes desc. <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/hebrew/1719.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 6k</font><p> <a href="/hebrew/1720.htm"><span class="l">1720.
