Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the name דּוֹדָן (Dodanim), which is a proper noun.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term "Dodanites" in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific proper noun referring to a people group. However, the Greek term for Javan, from whom the Dodanites are descended, is Ἰάων (Iáōn), which corresponds to Strong's Greek Number 2396. Usage: The term "Dodanites" is used to refer to the descendants of Dodan, mentioned in the genealogies of the nations in the Bible. Context: The Dodanites are mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis 10:4, where they are listed as descendants of Javan, the son of Japheth. This genealogical record places them among the maritime peoples, suggesting a connection to the islands and coastlands of the Mediterranean region. The Dodanites are often associated with the region of Rhodes or the Dodecanese islands, although some traditions and translations, such as the Septuagint, refer to them as "Rodanim." This association with maritime locations aligns with the broader context of Javan's descendants, who are linked to the Greek and Aegean regions. The mention of the Dodanites in the genealogical records underscores the biblical theme of the dispersion of nations and the spread of peoples across the earth following the flood.
