It refers to both a person and a region, with the Midianites being descendants of Midian, a son of Abraham through his wife Keturah (<a href="/genesis/25.htm">Genesis 25:1-2</a>). The Midianites played a crucial role in the history of Israel, often interacting with the Israelites in both hostile and cooperative ways.<br><br><b>Geographical Location:</b> <br>The land of Midian is generally associated with the northwestern Arabian Peninsula, east of the Gulf of Aqaba. It is characterized by its desert terrain and was known for its nomadic tribes. The Midianites were known to inhabit areas that are now part of modern-day Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and southern Israel.<br><br><b>Historical and Biblical Context:</b> <br>Midian's first significant biblical mention is in the context of Abraham's descendants. After the death of Sarah, Abraham married Keturah, and Midian was one of their six sons (<a href="/genesis/25.htm">Genesis 25:1-2</a>). The descendants of Midian became a distinct people group known as the Midianites.<br><br><b>Moses and Midian:</b> <br>One of the most notable interactions between the Israelites and the Midianites involves Moses. After fleeing Egypt, Moses found refuge in Midian, where he married Zipporah, the daughter of Jethro (also known as Reuel), the priest of Midian (<a href="/exodus/2-15.htm">Exodus 2:15-21</a>). Jethro later played a significant role in advising Moses on governance (<a href="/exodus/18-17.htm">Exodus 18:17-24</a>).<br><br><b>Midianites in the Exodus and Wilderness Period:</b> <br>The Midianites are mentioned during the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. They are notably involved in the incident at Peor, where the Israelites were led into idolatry and immorality through the influence of Midianite women, resulting in a divine plague (<a href="/numbers/25.htm">Numbers 25:1-9</a>). In response, God commanded Moses to take vengeance on the Midianites, leading to a military campaign against them (<a href="/numbers/31.htm">Numbers 31:1-12</a>).<br><br><b>Gideon and the Midianites:</b> <br>The Midianites are prominently featured in the Book of Judges during the time of Gideon. They oppressed the Israelites, leading to a period of hardship and poverty (<a href="/judges/6.htm">Judges 6:1-6</a>). God raised Gideon to deliver Israel from Midianite oppression. With a small army of 300 men, Gideon defeated the Midianites through divine intervention (<a href="/judges/7.htm">Judges 7:1-25</a>).<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Practices:</b> <br>The Midianites were a nomadic people with a culture distinct from the Israelites. They were involved in trade and had interactions with other groups in the region. The Midianites practiced a form of religion that included the worship of Baal, as seen in the incident at Peor (<a href="/numbers/25-3.htm">Numbers 25:3</a>).<br><br><b>Legacy and Significance:</b> <br>The Midianites' interactions with Israel highlight themes of conflict, cooperation, and divine judgment. They serve as a backdrop for significant biblical narratives, including the life of Moses and the judgeship of Gideon. The Midianites' role in biblical history underscores the complex relationships between the Israelites and their neighbors.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>&#183; <a href="/genesis/25.htm">Genesis 25:1-2</a>: "Now Abraham had taken another wife, named Keturah, and she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah."<br>&#183; <a href="/exodus/2-15.htm">Exodus 2:15-21</a>: Moses flees to Midian and marries Zipporah.<br>&#183; <a href="/numbers/25.htm">Numbers 25:1-9</a>: The incident at Peor involving Midianite women.<br>&#183; <a href="/numbers/31.htm">Numbers 31:1-12</a>: The campaign against the Midianites.<br>&#183; <a href="/judges/6.htm">Judges 6:1-6</a>: Midianite oppression of Israel.<br>&#183; <a href="/judges/7.htm">Judges 7:1-25</a>: Gideon's victory over the Midianites.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Midian</span><p>judgment; covering; habit<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Midian</span><p>(<i>strife</i>), a son of Abraham and Keturah, (<a href="/genesis/25-2.htm">Genesis 25:2</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/1-32.htm">1 Chronicles 1:32</a>) progenitor of the Midianites, or Arabians dwelling principally in the desert north of the peninsula of Arabia. Southward they extended along the eastern shore of the Gulf of Eyleh (<i>Sinus AElaniticus</i>); and northward they stretched along the eastern frontier of Palestine. The "land of Midian," the place to which Moses fled after having killed the Egyptian, (<a href="/exodus/2-15.htm">Exodus 2:15,21</a>) or the portion of it specially referred to, was probably the peninsula of Sinai. The influence of the Midianties on the Israelites was clearly most evil, and directly tended to lead them from the injunctions of Moses. The events at Shittim occasioned the injunction to vex Midian and smite them. After a lapse of some years, the Midianites appear again as the enemies of the Israelites, oppressing them for seven years, but are finally defeated with great slaughter by Gideon. [<a href="../g/gideon.htm">GIDEON</a>] The Midianites are described as true Arabs, and possessed cattle and flocks and camels as the sand of the seashore for multitude. The spoil taken in the war of both Moses and of Gideon is remarkable. (<a href="/numbers/31-22.htm">Numbers 31:22</a>; <a href="/judges/8-21.htm">Judges 8:21,24-26</a>) We have here a wealthy Arab nation, living by plunder, delighting in finery; and, where forays were impossible, carrying ont he traffic southward into Arabia, the land of gold --if not naturally, by trade-- and across to Chaldea, or into the rich plains of Egypt.<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Midian</span><p>The fourth son of Abraham and Keturah, <a href="/genesis/25-2.htm">Genesis 25:2</a>. </p><a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Strife, the fourth son of Abraham by Keturah, the father of the Midianites (<a href="/genesis/25-2.htm">Genesis 25:2</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/1-32.htm">1 Chronicles 1:32</a>). <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">MIDIAN; MIDIANITES</span><p>mid'-i-an, mid'-i-an-its (midhyan, midhyanim; Madiam, Madienaioi):<br><br>1. The See d of Abraham to the Time of the Judges:<br><br>Midian was a son of Abraham by his concubine Keturah. To him were born 5 sons, Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida and Eldaah (<a href="/genesis/25-2.htm">Genesis 25:2, 4</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/1-32.htm">1 Chronicles 1:32 f</a>). Bearing gifts from Abraham, he and his brothers, each with his own household, moved off from Isaac into "the east country" (<a href="/genesis/25-6.htm">Genesis 25:6</a>). The first recorded incident in the history of the tribe is a defeat suffered "in the field of Moab" at the hands of Hadad, king of Edom. Of this nothing beyond the fact is known (<a href="/genesis/36-35.htm">Genesis 36:35</a> <a href="/1_chronicles/1-46.htm">1 Chronicles 1:46</a>). The Midianites next appear as merchantmen traveling from Gilead to Egypt, with "spicery and balm and myrrh," with no prejudice against a turn of slave-dealing (<a href="/genesis/37-25.htm">Genesis 37:25</a>). Moses, on fleeing from Egypt, found refuge in the land of Midian, and became son-in-law of Jethro, the priest of Midian (<a href="/exodus/2-15.htm">Exodus 2:15, 21</a>). In Midian Moses received his commission to Israel in Egypt (<a href="/exodus/4-19.htm">Exodus 4:19</a>). A Midianite, familiar with the desert, acted as guide ("instead of eyes") to the children of Israel in their wilderness wanderings (<a href="/numbers/10-29.htm">Numbers 10:29</a>). The friendly relations between Israel and Midian, which seem to have prevailed at first, had been ruptured, and we find the elders of Midian acting with those of Moab in calling Balaam to curse Israel (<a href="/numbers/22-4.htm">Numbers 22:4-7</a>). Because of the grievous sin into which they had seduced Israel on the shrewd advice of Balaam, a war of vengeance was made against the Midianites in which five of their chiefs perished; the males were ruthlessly slain, and Balaam also was put to death (<a href="/numbers/25-15.htm">Numbers 25:15, 17</a>; <a href="/numbers/31-2.htm">Numbers 31:2</a>). We next hear of Midian as oppressing Israel for 7 years. Along with the Amalekites and the children of the East they swarmed across the Jordan, and their multitudinous beasts swept up the produce of the earth. Overwhelming disaster befell this horde at the onset of Gideon's chosen men. In the battle and pursuit "there fell a hundred and twenty thousand men that drew sword"; their kings, Zebah and Zalmunna, and their princes, Oreb and Zeeb, sharing the common fate (<a href="/nasb/judges/6.htm">Judges 6</a>; <a href="/nasb/judges/7.htm">Judges 7</a>; <a href="/nasb/judges/7/8.htm">Judges 7 8</a>). Echoes of this glorious victory-"the day of Midian"-are heard in later literature (<a href="/psalms/83-9.htm">Psalm 83:9</a> <a href="/isaiah/9-4.htm">Isaiah 9:4</a>; <a href="/isaiah/10-26.htm">Isaiah 10:26</a> <a href="/habakkuk/3-7.htm">Habakkuk 3:7</a>).<br><br>2. The Kenite Branch:<br><br>The Kenites appear to have been a branch of the Midianites. Jethro could hardly have attained the dignity of the priesthood in Midian had he been of alien blood (<a href="/judges/1-16.htm">Judges 1:16</a>). See <a href="../k/kenites.htm">KENITES</a>. Again, the tribesmen are named indifferently Ishmaelites and Midianites (<a href="/genesis/37-25.htm">Genesis 37:25, 28, 36</a> <a href="/judges/8-22.htm">Judges 8:22, 24</a>). They must therefore have stood in close relations with the descendants of Hagar's son.<br><br>3. Modern Arabs:<br><br>The representations of Midian in Scripture are consistent with what we know of the immemorial ways of Arabian tribes, now engaged in pastoral pursuits, again as carriers of merchandise, and yet again as freebooters. Such tribes often roam through wide circles. They appear not to have practiced circumcision (<a href="/exodus/4-25.htm">Exodus 4:25</a>), which is now practically universal among the Arabs. The men wore golden ornaments, as do the modern nomads (<a href="/judges/8-24.htm">Judges 8:24</a>).<br><br>4. Historical References:<br><br>The name of "Midian" is not found in Egyptian or Assyrian documents. Delitzsch (Wo lag das Paradies? 304) suggests that Ephah (<a href="/genesis/25-4.htm">Genesis 25:4</a>) may be identical with Chayapa of the cuneiform inscriptions. If this is correct the references point to the existence of this Midianite tribe in the North of el-Chijaz in the times of Tiglath-pileser and Sargon (745-705 B.C.). Isaiah speaks of Midian and Ephah apparently as separate tribes, whose dromedaries bear gold and frankincense to Zion (60:6); but he gives no hint of the districts they occupied. The tribe of Ghifar, found in the neighborhood of Medina in Mohammed's day, Knobel would identify with Epher, another of Midian's sons.<br><br>5. Territory:<br><br>No boundaries can now be assigned to "the land of Midian." It included territory on the West as well as on the East of the Gulf of `Aqaba (<a href="/exodus/4-19.htm">Exodus 4:19</a>). It lay between Edom and Paran (<a href="/1_kings/11-18.htm">1 Kings 11:18</a>). In the time of the Judges their district seems to have extended northward to the East of Gilead (8:10).<br><br>A trace of the ancient name is found in that of Madyah, a place mentioned by the Arabic geographers, with a plentiful supply of water, now called Maghair Sho`aib. It lies East of the Gulf of `Aqaba, some miles from the coast, almost opposite the point of the Sinaitic peninsula. The name Sho`aib, given by Mohammed to Jethro, may here be due to ancient Midianite tradition.<br><br>W.
